The courthouse was designed by the Atlanta architecture firm of Daniell & Beutell in the Stripped Classical style.[2] The courthouse was built after a previous county courthouse, built in 1884, was destroyed by a devastating 1936 tornado. The courthouse construction was partially funded by federal emergency relief for rebuilding.[2]

A new courthouse adjacent to the older courthouse was built in 2000-2002.[1]
