The original courthouse has elements of Italianate architecture. The addition was designed by Lincoln architect J.F. Reynolds and is in Art Deco style.[2]
It is a contributing property in the NRHP-listed Ponca Historic District.
The construction of the addition was the last salvo in a war between Ponca and Allen, Nebraska about which town would be county seat.[2]
