After Lincolnton was designated county seat in 1800, a stone courthouse was built. On March 2, 1874, the legislature approved the county borrowing $12,000 for construction of a new courthouse (Ga. Laws 1874, p. 326). That year, a new two-story courthouse was constructed. This building served until 1915, when the present courthouse was completed.</dc:description><dc:format>image/jpeg</dc:format><dc:rights>http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/</dc:rights><dc:subject>Courthouses--Georgia--Lincoln County</dc:subject><dc:subject>Courthouses--Georgia--Lincolnton</dc:subject><dc:title>Lincoln County Courthouse</dc:title><dc:type>StillImage</dc:type></oai_dc:dc>
