It stands on the town square in Wrightsville. It was designed by architects Golucke & Stewart and is similar to their Pike County Courthouse. It is brick and stone trim in composition. It has entrances on all four sides, with no one prominent enough to be clearly a "front" entrance. It has four corner pavilions, each with a bracketed gable. A later addition is the pedimented clock tower that is topped by a small dome.[2]
