Early County Courthouse
The Early County Courthouse (also known as the Grand Ole Lady)〔Tina Owen & Early County Museum, ''Early County'', Arcadia: 2011, p. 7, 18, 57, 78, 80.〕 is the historic county courthouse of Early County, Georgia, located on Courthouse Square in Blakely, Georgia, the county seat.〔 It was built in 1904 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1980.〔
==History==
Early County was chartered in 1818 and Blakely was established as the county seat in 1825.〔Wilber W. Caldwell, ''The Courthouse and the Depot: The Architecture of Hope in an Age of Despair'', Mercer University Press, 2001, pp. 304-307.〕 Early County's first courthouse was a log building, first used in 1827.〔 That building was sold for $13 and moved, making way for the second courthouse, a two-story wooden building built in 1834.〔
The county's third courthouse, a western-facing building, was built in 1857-58 by Thomas Williams for $4,650; it was sold for $155 to make way for the fourth and present courthouse, built in 1904-1905.〔〔 The third courthouse was described by the ''Early County News'' as dangerously unsafe and dilapidated, and the proposal to build a new court building "was tinted with a light wash of New South fervor and an outpouring of self-promotion."〔 The grand jury recommended a new courthouse, and a January 1905 piece by the ''Early County News'' praised an architectural rendering of the proposed design by the architects Thomas Henry Morgan and John Robert Dillon, as "the handsomest structure of its kind in Southern Georgia" which would "be in keeping with the wealth and prosperity of Early County--the Garden spot of Georgia."〔
