It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2003. HistoryDesigned by Brentwood S. Tolan, construction began in 1897, the cornerstone was laid November 17, 1897. The building was dedicated September 23, 1902, with a final cost of $817,553.59. On September 23, 2002, the building was re-dedicated on its centennial after a seven-year restoration effort, which cost $8.6 million.[3] Architectural detailsThe Beaux-Arts architecture-style structure includes such features as four 25 by {{convert|45|ft|m|sing=on}} murals by Charles Holloway, twenty-eight different kinds of scagiola covering {{convert|15000|sqft|m2}}, bas-reliefs and art glass. Each of the five court rooms has its own color scheme.{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}} Atop the building is a {{convert|255|ft|m|sing=on}}-high copper-clad domed rotunda, itself topped by a {{convert|14|ft|m|sing=on}} statue wind vane of Lady Liberty. The larger than life statue has feet that would wear a woman's shoe size of 28.{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}} The building materials include Bedford Limestone and Vermont granite with Italian marble details. A tunnel was constructed to connect the Courthouse with the City-County Building located across the street. The Courthouse also houses a fallout shelter underground. The skylights originally built into the building were covered during World War II and replaced with artificial light.{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}} The 2001 National Historic Landmark Nomination says in its opening paragraph: "An elaborate combination of Greek, Roman, and Renaissance influences, the massive courthouse reflects the exuberant ambition of late nineteenth century America."[4] See also
