Emanuel County Courthouse

Revision as of 07:23, 8 April 2024 by imported>I am become (I could not find support for the claim that the current courthouse is the eighth courthouse in Emanuel County, and instead found a source claiming that the new courthouse was in fact the seventh courthouse. Edited text to reflect this change. Additionally, the current courthouse was built in 2000, not 2002 as originally stated in the article. This was discovered as I searched for citations to support the original claim, which was labeled with "citation needed".)

The former courthouse in Swainsboro, built in 1940 and since demolished, and a sheriff department building, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 as Emanuel County Courthouse and Sheriff Department.[2] The Sheriff Department building, built in 1912, is a one-story Classical Revival building with a pedimented entrance portico. It was designed by Augusta, Georgia, architect L.F. Goodrich.[3] The 1940 courthouse served as Emanuel County's justice building, replacing the 1920 courthouse that was destroyed in a 1938 fire.[3] It was designed in Stripped Classical style by architects Dennis and Dennis.[3] The courthouse was demolished in 2000,[1] but a historical marker remains.[4]
