It is a two-story stone and concrete structure, set on a raised basement.

The first section is a Romanesque round-arched entry, flanked by square supports and topped by a small gable.

This leads through a slightly smaller gable-roofed section to a wider section, which has prominent hexagonal turrets at either side, a surviving remnant of the previous courthouse.

Most of the structure is finished in rusticated stone; there is a course of concrete at the cornice below the turrets, in which the "Marion County Courthouse" is incised.
