It is located on the property of The Chimes, a restaurant and taproom, in a 7.3-acre site that is on the east side of the [[Bogue Falaya River]], across from Covington.  It is in an area which was part of a historic Town of Claiborne, which no longer exists.
The courthouse-then-hotel building is a two-story brick masonry building.  It was converted into a [[hotel]], the Claiborne Cottage Hotel, in 1880.  The hotel was later expanded into a long linear building which thereafter formed the main part of the hotel; this building was destroyed in a fire in 1912.<ref name=minutes>{{cite report|type=none|url=https://www.crt.state.la.us/Assets/OCD/hp/nationalregister/meeting_agendas/April42019minutes.pdf |title=Louisiana National Register Review Committee Meeting Minutes |date=April 4, 2019}}</ref>
The property also includes a second [[contributing building]]: a one-story wood-frame cottage built c. 1889 in the hotel's expansion.<ref name=minutes/>  The modern building holding The Chimes restaurant is non-contributing to the historic nature of the property.<ref name=minutes>{{cite report|type=none|url=https://www.crt.state.la.us/Assets/OCD/hp/nationalregister/meeting_agendas/April42019minutes.pdf |title=Louisiana National Register Review Committee Meeting Minutes |date=April 4, 2019}}</ref>
It was deemed significant "in the areas of commerce and health/medicine for its late 19th and early 20th century use as a resort hotel. The property is an important and rare survivor of the resorts associated with St. Tammany Parish's history as the '[[Ozone Belt]],' a health tourism destination that garnered national attention and contributed significantly to the local economy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://prcno.org/national-register-historic-places-adds-15-new-resources-louisiana/ |date=February 1, 2020 |title=National Register of Historic Places adds 15 new resources in Louisiana |author=Emily Ardoin}}</ref>
