It has a red-tiled roof and a cupola rising to 91 feet (28 m), which was later removed. The building was nearly doubled in area in 1939 in a Public Works Administration-funded expansion which used matching materials. The expansion created a monumental pedimented Classical Revival entrance with Tuscan columns on the west side of the building. The building is about 139 by 87 feet (42 m × 27 m) in plan. The original building was designed by John James Huddart and built by contractor A.B. McDonald. Denver architects Lester L. Jones and Richard O. Parry designed the expansion.
