The major, or entrance, elevation faces Virginia Street with monumental design features and walls clad in smooth gray limestone.

These two elevations are entirely formal in design because they were intended to face the courthouse and principal city thoroughfare.

The four-story building is centered with a colossal engaged colonnade of six fluted Doric columns, which rises three-stories in support of a massive cornice.

The interior features a grand entrance lobby, and classically designed stairhall and council chambers.
