The Douglas Court House is a three storey building of cement rendered masonry which constitutes the north east corner of the intersection of Athol and Church Streets. The main entrance on Athol Street is marked by 4 Corinthian columns and their related podium. Beneath the columns the actual doorway treatment is somewhat obscure. The entire facade is characterised by this continued refinement on the first and second floors superimposed on a rather heavy and unrelated handling of the ground floor (pilaster columns of the upper floor are not always located above their equivalent column on the ground floor). In spite of this the corner is carefully detailed. No interior inspection has been made. The exterior of the building has been recently renovated. The adjacent properties have been 'annexed' as an extension of the present use but do not add to the architectural impact of the building.
