2. Barrow County Courthouse.

This courthouse is relatively newer than other historic courthouses in northeast Georgia since Barrow County was not created until 1914. Barrow County Courthouse exhibits Neo-Classical stylistic elements and an octagonal domed clock tower with a lantern. Restoration of the courtroom, detailed by preservation architect Lane Greene, was completed in 1990.
