The courthouse is a four-story building comprised of over 45,000 square feet, and was built in 1933 by the WPA (Works Progress Administration), a U.S. government work force consisting of citizens that were out of work. These men used A-model vehicles to hoist sandstone, brick and mortar to construct this structure. The original inside walls were made of plaster, most of which has been replaced by gypsum wallboard.
