All roof surfaces are clad with shingles. The foundation walls are of coursed masonry blocks with struck jointing. Most upper floor windows have round arch tops with keystones while those on the north and south faces which illuminate the upper courtroom balconies have segmental arches. All windows on the ground floor are rectangular with a heavy label mold at the top. Mid-floor windows are decorated with entablatures topped by railings or with highly decorative triangular pediments.
Windows penetrating the foundation walls are rectangular with keystones above each.
Fortunately, this was done without altering the architectural and historical character of the older building. Two large one story wings were added north and south connected by a long spanning passageway which is permanently connected to the rear entrance of the old Courthouse. These wings, and the rear span, were built to meet the needs of expanding government functions, such as Law Enforcement, County Administration, Elections, Clerk of Circuit Court and records storage. Until recently, Tax Administration remained in the old Courthouse along with the Judicial functions. Now, however, the only function occupying the old Courthouse is the Judicial.
