When the 1901 Harrison County Courthouse was completed, government functioned largely at the County level and the justice system was much simpler than it is today. As County government changed and grew, the commissioners approved alterations to the aging building. Some removed original architectural elements and other disguised them.

In 1925 and 1927, two of courthouse's original facades were moved out 16 feet, and then in-filled with matching brick.
