| | | 6. Original Glascock County Courthouse | | The original courthouse, a two story frame building, was erected in 1858. When the current courthouse was built in 1918, the old building was sold and moved two blocks west, where it was remodeled as a private residence. This is the west side of the house (right side from the street), the original front of the courthouse. The location of the original front door is obvious when the image is enlarged. | | |
