The cornerstone of this building was laid in June of 1892 and was completed the following spring.  Many rooms in the courthouse have fireplaces;  a spiral wrought iron staircase leads to the back of the courtroom.  The clock in the dome and the building itself are illuminated at night.  The clock is a Seth Thomas and only 82 of this model were built.  The courthouse is a National Register historical landmark.
