Built in 1912 to a design by Burlington architect Zachary Taylor Austin (1850–1910), it is a good example of Romanesque and Colonial Revival architecture.

[1] The Lamoille County Courthouse is centrally located in the village of Hyde Park, amid a cluster of other government buildings set back from the south side of Main Street.

The tower has a square belfry stage below the roof, which is pierced by dormered clock faces and topped by a weathervane.

It is supported by round columns, and has Union Jack balustrade both on the ground floor, and encircling its roof.

That courthouse and 17 other buildings were destroyed by Hyde Park's "Great Fire" in 1910; county records were preserved in fireproof safes.
