It was the result of blatant election tampering, in which votes on bond authorization were falsified.[citation needed] Voters had actually turned down the funding for a replacement to the previous courthouse which had burned in 1906. Proponents of the new courthouse cheated to get what they wanted.[2]
It is a three-story brick building designed in Classical Revival style [2]
