The central portion of each side is slightly recessed and has five window bays separated by Ionic columns rising from above the first floor to the frieze. The windows are modern, with metal frames. Large pilasters define the corners of the building. The doorways are centered and recessed on each side of the courthouse. The building has a projecting cornice, which Is surmounted by a parapet. The overall design of the building Is very stately and massive. The structure has a flat roof.
The Marshall County Courthouse is significant because it serves the community as the center of county governmental activity and because its architect was Jewell Hicks. Jewell Hicks also contributed to the design of the Oklahoma State Capitol Building, This courthouse reflects Hicks’ skill in combining classical elements with the simple, contemporary lines of public monumental architecture. The courthouse is the landmark of Madill. Built in the center of a plaza, traffic flows by the structure daily. Rows of businesses and shops face the four sides of the courthouse square. The Marshall County Courthouse is the central feature of both the town and the county. (1)
