United States, Georgia, Troup County, LaGrange, 33.03929, -85.03133Seibert, David, 1941-20202005Courthouse Details: On Dec. 14, 1826, the legislature directed that Troup County elections and court sessions be held in the house of Joseph Weaver. The county's first inferior court was authorized to erect a courthouse, but it is not known if a courthouse was built in 1827. In Dec. 1827, portions of Troup County were used to create two new counties--Meriwether and Harris. New elections were set for Feb. 1828, after which the new inferior court was given the responsibility of providing for a courthouse. Reportedly, a brick courthouse was built in LaGrange in 1830. This structure was torn down in 1903 or 1904 and replaced by a new three-story brick courthouse with clock tower, which was completed in 1904. This courthouse burned in 1936 and was replaced in 1939 with a new marble courthouse. The present courthouse--officially designated the Troup County Government Center--was completed in 2005, with the former courthouse becoming home for the Troup County Juvenile Court.image/jpeghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/Courthouses--Georgia--Troup CountyCourthouses--Georgia--LaGrangeTroup County CourthouseStillImage
