The Courthouse was thought to be built in the Greek Revival Style, but research by the Carter-Watkins architectural firm has found that the antebellum courthouse is actually early Italianate with some Greek Revival features.   True Greek Revival plans were not in the shape of a T, as this courthouse is.   They did not have recessed porticos or cupolas.  Windows in a true Greek Revival style would have been paired and there would not have been pilasters, both of which are present on this courthouse.
