Stephens County Courthouse
The Stephens County Courthouse was constructed in 1907 in the
Neo-Classical style with four large Ionic columns, which stand two
stories tall on the north and south porticos. A cupola in the
center of the top of the structure houses the four-sided clock facing
north, south, east and west.
It is not clear what served as Stephens County Courthouse for the first
three years after the county's creation. Construction of a
two-story brick courthouse began in June of 1907 and was completed in
1908. This building served as Stephens County courthouse until
May 2000, when the county's present courthouse opened across the street
from the original. The old courthouse continues to be used for
county office space -- but not as a courthouse.
