Courthouse Details: Hall County's first courthouse was a simple log building built soon after the county's founding.In 1820, a new courthouse was buiilt halfway bestween Mule Camp Springs and Redwine Springs. In 1832, a brick courthouse was built in the public square in Gainesville. This structure burned in 1851, and a replacement was built--but it burned also in 1882. The county's next courthouse -- a brick structure -- was built in on South Bradford St. in 1884, but it was destroyed by a devastating tornando that hit Gainesville in 1936. Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt facilitated federal relief monies to rebuild the city, part of which went to a new courthouse completed in 1937. In 1975, a modern-styled addition was built on to the rear of the 1937 courthouse, resulting in the appearance that the combined building has two different main entrances. Continuing growth of Hall County led to the need for additional office space for county government departments, and in 2000 construction began of a new multi-story brick county courthouse adjacent to the old courthouse and annex. The new courthouse was completed in 2002. - External Identifiers:
