[2] The Neo-Classical Revival facades and durable materials of the blocklike exterior communicate the importance of the functions housed therein to the citizens of the community.

The basic plan layout is also fairly typical for buildings of this size and era, with spaces configured between and around two large interior courtyards.

The plan is rectangular and biaxially symmetrical with respect to the exterior facades, except for a service door on the west side.

The second, third and fourth floor double hung windows are treated as a continuous vertical element between pilasters separated by cast aluminum spandrels.

Except for the Clerk's Office, functions not directly tied to the Courtrooms have been relocated to renovated spaces, lessening the logic and integrity of the building.

Almost all of the wood and glass partitions that defined interior spaces and determined their character have been replaced by gypsum board walls.

The main public spaces have been best preserved on this level, including the south lobby with its large, important mural across the north wall.

Throughout the building most of the terrazzo flooring, Art Deco hardware, paneled doors with transoms and period light fixtures are still in place.
