Bulloch County Courthouse, County courthouse in Statesboro, US.
Bulloch County Courthouse is a two-story building on Courthouse Square in downtown Statesboro, designed by Bruce and Morgan in 1894. Edward Columbus Hosford renovated it in 1914 in Classical Revival and Queen Anne styles, adding columned porticoes and large corner brick masses. The exterior was later coated with white plaster, which was removed or painted red brick color during the 1998–2000 restoration.
The building was constructed in 1894 to replace earlier wooden structures, including one destroyed during Sherman's March through the region in 1864. It represents the rebuilding period following the Civil War in this area.
The courthouse square holds a Confederate monument dedicated on April 26, 1909, paid for by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in memory of soldiers who served from 1861 to 1865. The square and courthouse appear in the film 1969, where the "B" in Bulloch is changed to a "C" for the fictional Culloch County, and the square features in the ending scene.
The courthouse faces Court House Square in downtown Statesboro, where the 1909 Confederate monument stands. County officers now work in the former Statesboro First Federal Savings and Loan Association Building, while courts and judges' offices moved to a judicial annex across the street, so check which building handles your business before visiting.
The courthouse square appears in the 1969 film "1969": for several scenes the "B" in Bulloch County on the building was changed to a "C" to read "Culloch County", and the square features in the ending scene.
