It was built in 1926, and is a three-story, limestone clad, Beaux-Arts style building that incorporates interior elements of the earlier 1896, Romanesque Revival style courthouse. Between 1959 and 1960, additions were built onto the front and rear.[2] It has been converted into private apartments and in 2018, was owned by Winston Courthouse LLC.[3] In front of it for decades was the Confederate Soldiers Monument, which was removed in 2019.
