The building is a fine example of George Temple Poole's architecture and is still in very good condition.
The building measures 40ft x 24ft. A prominent semi-circular arched arcade forms the verandah perimeter. This together with the light coloures plinth suggest Federation Free Classical as the predominant style. The face brick. pitched roof and eaves brackets suggest Federation Arts and Craft influences. The previously mentioned building elements were successfully employed for the intended public activity that took place under the roof.
The Court House was built at a cost of 1891 pounds. There were offices for the Magistrate, clerk courts, police jury and witnesses. It ceased to operate as a court in 1980.
