J. Beeland as contractor.","why_significant":"The courthouse dominates the town square and visually anchors the smaller surrounding stores and shops. It is one of the few Georgia courthouses whose dome can be seen from inside the rotunda, so the interior echoes the exterior forms. Its listing also rested on continued historic use and surviving interior first-floor materials and features.","narrative":"Built in 1907 on Courthouse Square in Monticello, this cross-plan courthouse faces an open, tree-lined park at the corner of the square. Lockwood Brothers designed and built it, with W. J. Beeland as contractor, in the neo-classical style with cream-colored brick and stone trim. A Corinthian tetrastyle entrance with a pediment and lunette projects from the main block, and an octagonal, lanterned clock tower rises from a square base. Inside, the dome is visible from the rotunda, which is unusual among Georgia courthouses; a stained glass, petal-shaped top lights the space, and a brass-railed balcony circles the dome base. Pressed metal ceilings, an iron stairway with marble steps and beaded board wainscoting lead to the second-floor courtroom, which has a coved metal ceiling and a bow-shaped railing. The building anchors the town's small business section and was listed as part of a group of Georgia courthouses. It is in good condition, with some repairs needed.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Lockwood Brothers (architect/builder); W. J.
