It also cites unusual interior features: painted acoustical tile designs, marble corridor flooring and a 25-foot courtroom ceiling.

Chase, with Carr Construction Co. as contractor. It is a two-story building over a basement, with a rusticated central block flanked by a wing on each side. Masonry concrete is faced with stone, and a one-story Doric entrance is topped by a broken pediment holding a clock. Square and round-arched steel and glass windows are used throughout. The courtroom level features an engaged Doric hexastyle design alternating columns with round arches and medallions. Inside, painted acoustical tile designs in ochre, red, black and green and marble corridor floors stand out. The courtroom has a 25-foot ceiling, a tall rounded arch behind the judge's bench flanked by coupled Corinthian pilasters, and about 3,720 square feet of space, among the largest in Georgia. The building was listed as part of a statewide group of courthouses, chiefly for its Renaissance Revival massing and distinctive interior.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect/builder William J.J.
