The courthouse originally had a rusticated base of light-colored stone or concrete, punctuated with arched openings. The upper two floors featured rectangular windows, numerous cartouches, and an ornate cornice. In the 1970s, the courthouse was remodeled and encased in a Modern style building characterized by dramatic three-story bracket columns, blank granite panel exterior walls, and a deep projecting roof. |
