Courthouse Details: Muscogee County's first courthouse was a simple wooden structure built around 1829 or 1830 in the 1500 block of First Avenue. This building was replaced by a three-story brick structure in 1838. A larger, domed courthouse was built on the same site in 1896 at a cost of $63,500. In 1971, Columbus and Muscogee County merged, and construction of a new government complex for the consolidated government began in 1972.The new courthouse was built behind the old courthouse, and for a brief period, both courthouses stood. With completion of the new courthouse in 1973, the old courthouse was torn down. - External Identifiers:
