The building is "H" shaped in plan, with a small single story projection to the east corner which was originally a kitchen and bedroom. The wings are now occupied by offices and the court room is in the centre section, rising through both stories with a [[mezzanine]] level public gallery at the south east end.<ref name=qhr/>
The walls of the court room are rendered and scored up to a moulded plaster [[Dado rail|dado]], and have painted brickwork above. The ceiling is lined with beaded [[tongue and groove]] boards divided by exposed stop-chamfered beams, with turned knobs at the intersections. The space has 4 pane, horizontally pivoting windows to the upper section and large double hung windows with arched heads in the lower section. Centred on each long side of the court are pairs of four-panel entry doors. The furniture of the court room includes the [[Bench (law)|bench]], [[jury benches]], [[press box]] and [[dock]] all constructed from beaded tongue and groove boarding, and a silky oak [[witness stand]].<ref name=qhr/>
The upper level offices have ripple iron ceilings, moulded timber [[architraves]] and [[chimney]] pieces. The internal doors are four-panelled with toplights and glazed [[french doors]] with toplights open onto the verandahs. There is a timber staircase with turned [[balusters]] in the north-west block, and a similar new stair in the south-east block. Ceilings in the lower level are fibrous plaster or masonite with cover strips.<ref name=qhr/>
