The presence of a recessed portico is one indication that
the architectural style of the Courthouse is Italianate rather than Greek Revival.
A portico is a porch that has a roof supported by columns.
Porticos are often found at the front entrance of a building. This portico is
set back into the building and does not stick out beyond the front of the building except
for the columns. This type of portico is called recessed.
