Built by Georgia’s most prolific courthouse architect, J. W. Golucke, the Meriwether County Courthouse burned in 1976 but the external walls remained intact and a restoration which took several years returned the structure to its prominence in the community. It’s one of my favorite Georgia courthouses.

Maybe this can be a model and inspiration to Hancock County.
Hope you visited the restored upstairs courtroom. It is a wonderful room and would make a great movie location.
