The Huron County Courthouse sits in Norwalk, Ohio by a busy downtown intersection. The ground floor is composed of rusticated blocks and recessed arched windows. The entrance is reached by a flight of stairs and a protruding portico. Two small windows frame either side of the entrance.
The second floor is made up of smooth masonry blocks with a balcony framed by masonry walls and framed inside with Doric columns. The corner windows are long rectangular panels framed with a decorative border and keystone. The windows by the portico are arched with decorative borders and ketystones. A tower rises from the flat roof and supports a four faced clock. The tower is capped with a colonnaded belfry and an urn on top.
The building now standing is the county's third courthouse, the first and second being destroyed. The current building has reused the foundation and some walls from the second building. The third courthouse was built in 1882 and designed by Vernon Redding. A remodel of the structure occurred in 1913 after a fire destroyed the top floor.
