The Athens County Courthouse features red brick construction with tall windows, limestone arches, and a columned portico at the main entrance point.
Built in 1880 after multiple previous structures, the courthouse stands as a National Register of Historic Places building designed by architect James Knox Taylor.
The courthouse maintains a Law Library on the fourth floor with three conference rooms that facilitate legal discussions and mediations for county residents.
