The courthouse is the fourth to be used by Clark County and was built at the site of the previous courthouse, which was built in 1892. The building includes terrazzo-style floors and ornamental fittings; a bas-relief sculpture above the front entrance was damaged during a power-washing operation in 1978. The Clark County Courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[3]
