Effingham County Courthouse
This new complex serves as the home for the County's courtrooms, judicial support functions, and offices for Superior and Magistrate Judges. The facility is located adjacent to the original historic courthouse and draws many architectural cues from this significant building.
The exterior uses stone, brick, and glass in a design reflecting the dignity of the courts and the predominate civic architecture of southeast Georgia. The building faces the downtown park containing monuments to Effingham County's past veterans as well as a community time capsule. The opposite side of the building faces the major downtown thoroughfare of Springfield and is the largest structure in that area.
