There were previously stairs made of granite that connected the second floor with the ground, but they were removed in 1950. The courthouse received a modernization in 1953 which updated the interior. In 2011 the courthouse was rededicated after an extensive renovation, which began in March 2009, and restored the interior to the original style. The renovation had a cost of about $65 million, and included adding a cupola that was created in the 1980s as well as re-adding the granite steps. The reopening was in August 2011.
