An impressive and well preserved government building of the late 1890's, representing the style of local buildings and the use of local stone.
The building is a grand two storey structure, finely detailed and executed and well preserved. The building is symmetrical about a tall central section which houses the original courthouse and public gallery. The west wing houses the Mining Registrar's office and the new court and the west wing a museum. The building is constructed of finely dressed stone in a random pattern. There is stucco detailing around the windows and doors and on the ground floor arcade and first floor balconies. The roof is tiled, the tiles having been imported from Marseilles.
