Designed in the Tudor Revival style by Guy Carpenter, an architect with the"Louden Barn Planning Service." Its design included a Louden ventilating system, an early attempt at air-conditioning. The fans proved too noisy, however, and fell into disuse, possibly because it was not used correctly.

The Louden Ventilator Cupola on the roof, of a type usually reserved for a barn roof, can be best viewed from the north driveway of the courthouse.   See the Louden Cupola & a catalogue page.
