Architect George E. McDonald designed the brick building with elements of Richardsonian Romanesque and Italian Renaissance Revival style. It was built by Topeka's Morse Contracting in 1907. It is approximately in plan, and is two stories upon a raised basement. The brick exterior is yellow/buff in color, with the bottom level finished in rusticated limestone.
McDonald designed three other courthouses listed on the National Register.
