Information: After the Hurricane of 1896 damaged the
old Glynn County courthouse, county officials authorized construction
of a replacement. A new two-story brick courthouse was completed
in 1907 (see
photo). This building was used until 1991, when a new courthouse
was completed across the street. Subsequently, Glynn County planned
to use the proceeds of a special-purpose local-option sales tax
to rehabilitate the 1907 courthouse for use as a meeting hall
and offices for the county commission. Plans also called on construction
of a plaza connecting the old and new courthouses. Completion
of this project, however, has been delayed on several occasions. |
