The courthouse is a three-story, stuccoed-brick structure with a copper-domed clock tower in the center of a flat roof.

Also at this time, the dome was lowered and various architectural details were removed, giving the building a Neoclassical look.

The three-story tan and red brick old Bastrop County Jail, opened in 1892, also stands on the courthouse square.

Preston & Son also designed the National Register-listed Bell County Courthouse in Belton, Texas.
