Its simple brick and concrete design reflects small-town municipal buildings designed by builders. Criteria A and C apply, with the Keeper amending the form to check A rather than B.","narrative":"Located just northeast of the Bulloch County courthouse square, this single-story brick building at Siebald and Courtland Streets began in 1911 as the Statesboro city stables. Built by local builder L. R. Blackburn, it became the city's first dedicated municipal building, housing city offices, the fire department, a jail and a courtroom. A major addition in 1933, directed by city councilman Arthur Howard, expanded space for government use, and a vehicle bay was added in 1970. Square brick columns, a narrow band of corbeled brick and poured concrete arches over the vehicle bays, showing some Art Moderne influence, give the building a simple, solid look typical of small-town municipal structures designed by builders. City offices moved out in 1964. The building now serves Bulloch County Emergency Medical Services. It was listed for its link to downtown Statesboro's growth and for its architecture, and it retains its integrity of design, materials and workmanship despite later changes.","period_of_significance":"1911-1938","architect_builder":"L.
