"The two story structure was built of concrete finished in stucco. The roof was a cypress shingled hipped roof, surmounted by a cupola. The lower flooring of the building was of cut stone, while the other floors were of pine, which was grooved, dressed, and tongued. There was a large front door with transom light, a large back door at end of the passage running through building, and an outside door at each end of hall running across the front of the building. Two flights of stairs ran up in the front passage or hall to upper floor. The courthouse was enclosed with a concrete fence, having four gates, one at each corner." - From THC
