Blair, AlexanderUnited States, Georgia, Murray County, Chatsworth, 34.76591, -84.76994Jackson, Edwin L.1916/1917Architecture Style: Neoclassical RevivalCourthouse Details: In September 1833, Murray County's first court session was held in Spring Place. Likely, private homes, churches, or other structures served as courtrooms, as there is no record of a real courthouse in the county's early years. On Dec. 27, 1842, the legislature authorized the county to levy a special tax to fund construction of a courthouse -- but it is not known if county officials implemented the law. Murray County's first known courthouse was a two-story brick structure built in Spring Place in 1886. Chatsworth was designated county seat in 1913, and three years later work began there on a new two-story brick courthouse that continues in use today. After county government moved to Chatsworth in 1917, the old Spring Place courthouse became a school house.image/jpeghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/Courthouses--Georgia--Murray CountyCourthouses--Georgia--ChatsworthMurray County CourthouseStillImage
