The former courthouse in Swainsboro, built in 1940 and since demolished, and a sheriff department building, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 as Emanuel County Courthouse and Sheriff Department.[1] The Sheriff Department building, built in 1912, is a one-story Classical Revival building with a pedimented entrance portico. It was designed by Augusta, Georgia, architect L.F. Goodrich.[2]
The courthouse served as Emanuel County's seventh justice building, replacing the 1920 courthouse that was destroyed in a 1938 fire.[2] It was designed in Stripped Classical style by architects Dennis and Dennis.[2] The courthouse was demolished in 2002, but a historical marker remains.[3]
