It is noteworthy for its picturesque massing and precise Richardsonian Romanesque design.
Additions were made to the original building in 1917 and 1924. The twin-towered Virginia Street elevation is the glory of the Kanawha County Courthouse. Roofs of each tower are pyramidal with chamfered corners. The belfry openings are arched and flanked with smooth grey limestone masonry colonnettes.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
