Eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, the courthouse features primary elevations clad in Indiana limestone atop a dark granite base, exhibiting both Art Deco and Art Moderne details. Significant interior spaces include the two-story main lobby with marble detailing, the original elevator lobbies with decorative brushed-aluminum elevator doors, and historic courtrooms with original wood paneling.
The Potter Stewart Courthouse has undergone two prospectus-level renovations of court space and building systems in recent years, the first project completed in 2005 and the second in 2011.
