ConnerUnited States, Georgia, Echols County, Statenville, 30.70327, -83.02764Seibert, David, 1941-20201956Architecture Style: ModernCourthouse Details: The 1858 act creating Echols County provided for election of county officials on the first Monday of April 1859. At that time, the newly elected justices of the inferior court were empowered to provide for erection of a courthouse and other public buildings. In 1859, Echols County's first courthouse -- a frame building -- was constructed in Statenville. Sometime in the 1870s, a two-story wooden courthouse was completed, though it burned in 1897. The county courts used the Masonic Hall or rented meeting rooms until a new two-story structure was completed in 1899. The current courthouse was completed and occupied in 1956.image/jpeghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/Courthouses--Georgia--Echols CountyCourthouses--Georgia--StatenvilleEchols County CourthouseStillImage
