 On June 8 , 1893 , LaBelle and French provided the county commissioners with a complete plan for the new courthouse . The architects designed a monumental stone courthouse in the Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style that was popular in the United States at that time . The four @-@ story building measured 71 by 126 feet ( 22 by 38 m ) . It featured enormous arches on the northern and southern facades , semicircular towers on the east and west sides , and a 165 @-@ foot ( 50 m ) clock tower on the southwest corner .
