Jenkins County Courthouse, Millen, GA

**Jenkins County Courthouse** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 80001100, date listed 9/18/1980

 

Courthouse Sq.

 

Millen, GA (Jenkins County)

 

Constructed in 1910.

 

Sitting in Millen’s large public square facing west, this three story classically detailed courthouse has a tetrastyle entrance. The order is of undetermined origin: the columns are hollow, very plain, fluted and are on high bases; the unadorned entablature is capped by a pediment with a lunette; side entrance porticoes feature one story porches with Ionic columns. A bracketed cornice encircles the building. All is topped by a copper colored domed clock tower with pedimented clocks and a sculpture of blind justice on the lantern. The scales from the sculpture are missing but it is still impressive. Few courthouses in Georgia feature sculpture. (1)
