This courthouse was built in 1948-49 in a restrained Neo-classical design, which is typical of the architects, Marr and Holman of Nashville. It is a rectangular two-story stone clad structure with lower sides flanking the colonnade-like principal main section. The courthouse served as the office of Buford Pusser of Walking Tall fame. He took on the establishment and won, and was the county sheriff with an office in this building from 1964 to 1970. With an entrance in the back of the building, the basement now has a museum in tribute to the local hero.
