The Old Supreme Court building was declared open in 1939 by Sir Shenton Thomas, Governor of the Straits Settlement. Designed by Municipal Architect F. Dorrington Ward, the building adopted a Classical-Revival style - characterised by its dome and Corinthian columns - that was also seen in other architecture built in the civic district, such as the Municipal Building.
