Homer, GA

Travel Guide

The Old Banks County Courthouse is in Homer, Georgia. Construction started in 1860 but was interrupted because of the Civil War. Construction was paid for with $6,600 in Confederate money. Construction was finished in 1875. (The Georgia Courthouse Manual dates it as completed in 1863.) The building is a two-story brick courthouse with a stone foundation in the Greek Revival style. It is similar to many courthouses in Virginia, which is a result of the builders being from Virginia. It has Tuscan columns that are on top of one-story brick piers. The interior originally had a cross plan. The courtroom and judge's chambers are on the second floor, which are accessed by outside double stairways.

The room was clean. The staff was very nice. We enjoyed our stay. I didn’t care for the extra fee for our dog, $20 a day is too much.
