Stephens County Courthouse, 1908, Toccoa

Now renovated and used for county offices, the old courthouse is a focal point of Toccoa’s vibrant downtown. It was designed by Kentucky architect H. L. Lewman. A newer courthouse stands across the street.

[This is a rear view of the courthouse, which is nearly identical to the front. The columns are Ionic on the front, and the front frieze contains the words ‘Stephens County’. I was unable to get a clear view of the front because it was decorated for a holiday when I photographed it].

Bagwell House, Circa 1884, Toccoa

This house likely dates to circa 1884, as the adjacent house, built in that year, is a near twin. It is best known as the Bagwell House, for two maiden schoolteachers who lived here.

Update: This photo was made in 2011. The house was being deconstructed/remodeled in 2013 and may no longer be standing.

Originally built by a Mr. Green of Atlanta, who had Green’s Department Store on Doyle Street in downtown Toccoa, the Hotel Albermarle burned and was rebuilt sometime in the 1950s, retaining some of the original structure. For many years, it was known as the Alexander Apartments. There are presently plans to renovate it to its original state.
