Built in 1892 by William H. Parkins, the Terrell County Courthouse is considered a significant example of High Victorian public architecture in Georgia. It’s also one of the tallest rural courthouses in Georgia. Parkins was the most important practicing architect in Georgia from just after the Civil War until his retirement in the late 1880s.
