The 6.24 acres (2.53 ha) listed area includes 29 contributing buildings.[2] It includes the Italianate-style Henry County Courthouse, which was separately listed on the National Register in 1977.

New Castle's historic center is somewhat different from those of other Kentucky county seat towns, as it never had a railroad. Railroads reached most county seats by around 1920 and shaped development significantly. Most of the contributing buildings in the district are one- or two-story brick structures; three are log buildings.[2]
