The building is an example of Renaissance Revival and Romanesque Revival architecture. It underwent extensive renovations in 1892.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1] HistoryThe Brooks County Courthouse was built from 1859–64; it was designed by architect John Wind.[3] Because of shortages of material and labor, the courthouse was one of only two courthouses in Georgia built during the Civil War; the other is the Banks County Courthouse in Homer.[3] Because of the war, plans for the courthouse were substantially scaled back; a proposed parapet, cupola, roof balustrade, ornate courtroom columns, and porticos on the ends of the building were never built.[3] The original courthouse resembles another Wind courthouse, the Thomas County Courthouse at Thomasville (1858), as well as Elam Alexander's Bibb County Courthouse (1829) in Macon; all three courthouses are in a brick vernacular style.[3] The county paid for the building with $14,985 in Confederate money, which soon became worthless.[4] The building was remodeled in 1892, with Bruce & Morgan as architects, one of sixteen Georgia courthouses designed by the firm between 1882 and 1898.[3] The remodeled courthouse is Italian Renaissance Revival, with elements of Richardsonian Romanesque in the massive twin arches at the main entrance and Queen Anne style in the fenestration.[3] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Brooks County Courthouse|publisher=Georgia Info|url=http://georgiainfo.galileo.usg.edu/courthouses/brooksCH.htm}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 Wilber W.
