Description:
|
The clock tower of this building has a copper-covered pyramidal roof and is 160 feet high and 26 feet square, reflecting the "overall massiveness" of the Romanesque Revival architectural style. The courthouse is made of stone and red brick. There are many towers and turrets that are rounded, "pepper-pot" and square.
