Description

This courthouse was built by the WPA in 1941.

“This is a rectangular structure consisting of a central three-story unit and two single story wing units. It is constructed of rusticated and coursed native limestone… A concrete frieze along the top portion of the central unit adds decorative detail to the building. Unfortunately the building has been altered. A third story has been added [to] the south wing…

Seldom did the WPA undertake projects of this magnitude… Surely the structure is the most distinctively beautiful of any county courthouse built by the WPA in Oklahoma.”   (Oklahoma Landmarks Inventory)
