It has been the official home of Taliaferro's Superior Court, and the base of the county's government, as well as other numerous administrative offices.

The building is the style of High Victorian Gothic, facing east with three story, bright red bricks.

The three-story red brick facility features corner towers with pyramidal and white ogee-shaped roofs.

[5] Elements of the building include a variety of window shapes and sizes, round, segmental and flat arches, and a granite white trim.

The courts were located in the Courthouse for a long time, but were no longer adequate and did not meet current standards and codes required.

In 2009, local Historical Society across from the post office, began raising funds to repair the Courthouse clock.
