The tallest building in the complex is the 27-floor, former Franklin County Courthouse at 373 South High Street. It is the seventh tallest building in Columbus. This was the third incarnation of the Franklin County Courthouse and hosts the majority of the county government agencies. It was designed by architectural firm DesignGroup, Inc. following the postmodern architectural style.
Other major buildings in the complex include the 19-floor Municipal Court at 375 South High Street and the 10-floor Hall of Justice at 369 South High Street, both designed by Prindle & Patrick. The seven-floor new Franklin County Common Pleas Courthouse at 345 South High Street was completed in 2010.
The Hall of Justice at 369 South High Street began a two-year renovation in early 2013.
Other facilities in the complex include:
A large cast of Henry Moore's Oval with Points, originally installed in Dorrian Commons Park, was moved across High Street in 2014 to the plaza of the newly-remodeled Hall of Justice.
