Designed in 1908 by Savannah City Hall architect Hyman Wallace Witcover, this iconic and unique Georgia courthouse was recently restored. A newer, more modern courthouse was constructed across the street to accomodate Effingham County’s population boom. (Thanks to Tracy for allowing access to the courtroom.)

This beautiful tree celebrates Christmas in the newly restored Effingham County Courthouse. It was grown by Truitt’s Christmas Tree Farm, a local business operated by Truitt & Amber Zipperer, with the help of their year-old son, Holland!

Inscription on the Frieze:
A POPULO SEMINOLI IUDICIUM AD CAUSAM IUSTITIAE HUMANAE AEDIFACTUM EST
ANNO DOMINI MILLE NONGENTI VIGINTI DUO
Though I took two years of Latin in high school, my translating skills are rusty at best. My guess is that this means, loosely, To the People of Seminole (County), This is Built for the Cause of Human Justice. The second part is: In the Year of Our Lord 1922.
