Elbert County Courthouse

The Elbert County Courthouse is a county governmental building in Elberton, Georgia, featuring red brick walls and Romanesque Revival architectural style designed by Reuben H. Hunt. The structure sits on Courthouse Square and displays the ornamental detailing typical of this late 19th century design tradition.

The building was constructed in 1894 and gained recognition through its addition to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It stands as evidence of the region's architectural and institutional development during the late 1800s.

The building functions as the hub for legal proceedings and civic affairs in a granite-producing region of Georgia. It remains a place where residents gather for official business and community events.

Visitors can explore the building during standard business hours and view the architectural features from the public square that surrounds it. The area is easy to navigate and offers clear sightlines of the entire structure.

The exterior underwent a notable restoration in the early 2000s when white paint was removed to reveal the original red brick underneath. This work restored the facade to match the building's initial architectural appearance from when it was first completed.
