The courthouse was built from 1964 to 1965 by contractor Busboom & Rauh of Salina, Kansas.

Kiene & Bradley Architects of Topeka, Kansas designed the courthouse in the Modern style.

The courthouse is located on landscaped grounds on the city's west side.

It is one story and faces south, with a two-story wing on the north side.

The first courthouse—now known as the Old Logan County Courthouse—was built in Russell Springs from 1887 to 1888 by George D. Kerns and designed by Alfred Meyer in the American Romanesque Revival style.
