Construction on this American courthouse began in 1826 and was completed the next year. The building was then extensively altered in 1868. Designed in the Greek Revival style, it is a two-story, white brick structure that is three bays wide and six bays long. The low-hipped roof is crowned by a cupola that dates to 1826. An annex was completed circa 1892.[2]
