Grass fills the space between the sidewalk and the courthouse and contains multiple large green trees whose foliage almost entirely covers the walls of the courthouse. The building has orange brick walls with a row of circular windows near the edge of its dark gray roofline. Each side of the courthouse has a square section that sticks out from the center of the building. The roof on these sections has stones in the shape of flat-topped cones on each corner. In the center section of the roof sits a clock tower which has one tall window in each side of its orange brick base. The clockfaces sit on the sides of the tower's brown, sloping roof which has a small platform at its top with a column-supported roof. Upon that pointed roof is a weathervane.
