Bell, Tyrie & Chapman designed the courthouse in the Renaissance Revival style, which was common in early 20th century buildings. The J. B. Nelson Construction Company built the courthouse.
The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 12, 1976. In 2011, the county began a $1 million renovation of the courthouse in order to meet the local circuit court's needs.
