It was designed by architect Elmer George Withers, who designed at least 11 Texas courthouses, and was built by Bone and Parr Construction Co. It is Classical Revival in style.[2]
It is a Texas State Antiquities Landmark and a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark.
The building is the second courthouse which served Roberts County, as it replaced a frame building used as courthouse in Parnell from 1889 to 1898 before it was moved to Miami.
It was deemed significant "for its role as the center of government for Roberts County" and "as an intact example of a Classical Revival style public building. The courthouse retains integrity of design, materials, workmanship, location, setting, association and feeling to a high degree."[2]
