A road fills the foreground of the photo with a white car peeking into the photo from the left side while a second car sits parked at the edge of the sidewalk that runs in front of the courthouse property. Short orange bushes sit in long lines of yellow grass in front of the courthouse along with tall leafless trees. More bushes and trees with leaves sit along the base of the building. A short set of stairs leads up to the doors of the pale, brick and stone courthouse, which are windowed and set into dark frames. The section of the building the doors are set into faces the left edge of the photo and sticks out slightly from the rest of the building. The courthouse has three rows of windows with two of them being above the level of the doors while the last row sits below the doors' height in the building. The roof of the courthouse is flat with no ornamentation. Telephone poles and the liens attached to them occupy various positions in the photo including on the sidewalk, to the right of the courthouse, and in the background beyond the courthouse where flat-topped red and orange brick buildings sit with a few cars parked in front of them.

The courthouse itself is made of white bricks constructed to form a building with a section projecting from each side of the central part of the building, creating a square cross shape. The front of the building faces the camera directly and has green doors in its center. Two rows of tall windows run across every side of the building, with brick triangles pointed down sitting between the tops of each window. At the top of the building is a small dome partially obscured from view by a white brick wall. A tall, thin metal structure rises from the top of the dome while powerlines crisscross the sky behind it.
