It is Neoclassically derived in style and sits on its own block of about 2 acres.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it one of the plainest early-twentieth-century Neoclassically derived courthouses in Georgia. Alongside its more elaborate contemporaries, it shows the range of such courthouses in the state. Its plain look also reflects the differing fortunes of Georgia counties. As a repository of marriage, will and land records, it also serves as a focal point of county life.","narrative":"Glascock County's courthouse, on Main Street in Gibson, Georgia, is a long, narrow, two-story brick building with a hipped roof and gabled pavilions. It was built in 1918 and expanded in 1942 with a similarly detailed addition across the rear. The front facade has a projecting central pavilion with a pilastered, broken-pedimented entry, a Georgian Revival window on the second floor, and an oculus in the gable. Paired sash windows with flat stone lintels flank the central bay, and brick walls are trimmed with stone. The interior was thoroughly renovated in 1973. The building is considered significant as one of the plainest early-twentieth-century Neoclassically derived courthouses in Georgia. Along with more elaborate examples, it shows the range of the style across the state, and its simple appearance reflects the differing fortunes of Georgia counties. As the keeper of marriage, will and land records, it has long been a focal point of local life. The property occupies a block of roughly two acres.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Neoclassically derived","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in good condition; interior renovated in 1973.
