The building is clad in rusticated white granite at the base with berea sandstone above, with arched windows at the first floor, a central entrance bay below a portico with metal screens and cartouches on the headers, side entrances with doric columns, sculptural reliefs, architraves with triglyphs, pediments at the second floor windows, decorative window trim surrounds, corinthian columns and pilasters, a front portico with a pediment featuring a sculptural frieze, corinthian columns, and a stone balustrade, a cornice with dentist and modillions, projected bays at the ends of the principal facade, a recessed fourth floor surrounded by a parapet and balustrade, one-over-one windows, parapets with urns, festoons, cartouches, and obelisks, a large glass skylight on the roof, two copper quadrigas flanking the base of the building’s tower, which is wrapped by a colonnade wrapping a loggia with arched bays, a balustrade at the top of the lower section of the tower with copper statues at the corners, arched bays at the top level of the tower with juliet balconies, a roof atop the tower with copper flashing, and a massive copper finial, which rises to a height of 247 feet above ground level. Inside, the building features decorative woodwork, tile mosaics, stone wall cladding and floors, coffered ceilings, engaged columns and pilasters, grand historic stone staircases, colonnades, vaulted ceilings, and stained glass windows. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The building was rehabilitated in 1987 under the direction of Quinn Evans Architects and Smith, Hinchman and Grylls Associates, and housed the Wayne County Government until 2010, when all Wayne County offices and events were moved to the Guardian Building, which had been purchased by the county in 2007.
