The building was built between 1893 and 1895 according to plans by Gunn & Curtis in the neo-renaissance style. With their design, the architects leaned heavily on the Texas State Capitol in Austin .

The construction work was carried out by Probst Construction from Chicago . The cost of building the red granite structure was $ 408,840. In 1894 a new president of the court was elected as a protest against the sum, which was seen as a waste.
