The McDonough Presbyterian Church was established in August 1827 with 25 members. Reverend James A. Gamble was the first minister. This church, built in 1922, replaced an earlier structure built in 1890. It served the congregation until 1974, when a new church was built at another location.

Golucke & Stewart designed this courthouse in the Richardsonian Romanesque style, which they also employed in the plans of the Schley, Union, and Madison county courthouses. Though its appearance has been altered by expansions over the years, it remains a focal point of downtown McDonough.
