It served historically as a courthouse, as a correctional facility, and as a post office. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]

The building is now privately owned, and houses a number of offices. It has been named the McMill Building, the "McMill" deriving not from a person's name, but from the date in Roman numbers, MCMIII, above the west entrance.[2][3]
