Wright Butler designed this courthouse in the late 19th century, marking his first major architectural commission after establishing his practice in Cumberland in 1891.

The courthouse stands as a center of civic life within the Washington Street Historic District, representing the development of local government institutions.

The building contains multiple courtrooms and administrative offices, serving as the primary location for legal proceedings in Allegany County.
