Completed in 1904 for $56,998, it was designed by architect J. W. Golucke and built by the R. D. Cole Manufacturing Co. The Neo-Classical building is faced in brick, laid in Flemish bond and darker than in other Golucke buildings, with copper and stone trim. Ionic porticos mark the entrances, and gabled corner pavilions project from a central core. A clock tower rising more than 100 feet carries a weathered copper dome, hooded clocks, urns and a cupola with weathervane. Inside, the cross plan has two staircases to the second floor. The courtroom has Ionic pilasters, pedimented windows, a pressed-metal ceiling and deep carved cornices, with original light fixtures and ceiling fans surviving. The nomination describes it as one of Golucke's most ambitious works. A 1975 remodeling by Hamilton and Burroughs adapted it to present judicial needs while retaining its important original features.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"J. W.
