Stephens County Courthouse, Toccoa, GA (2)
**Stephens County Courthouse** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 80001232, date listed 9/18/1980
Courthouse Sq.
Toccoa, GA (Stephens County)
Built in 1908.
The Ionic tetrastyle portico is pedimented, with an oculus in the center of the pediment, and the name 'Stephens County' is on the entablature. The cross plan of the two story building with basement has corner pavilions that project from a center core. The whole structure has an octagonal ribbed dome with hooded clocks (E. Howard clock) and a lantern. The dome rises from a square base and on the second stage directly under the clocks has arched windows enclosed by coupled pilasters and a pediment. This motif is repeated around the dome and echoes the design of the main facade. Today it still towers over the town and is very near the new downtown shopping mall. (1)
