The Lagrange Commercial Historic District in LaGrange, Georgia is a 32-acre (13 ha) historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It includes 72 contributing buildings, two contributing sites, and 30 non-contributing buildings.[1][2]

It includes:

    • Troup County Courthouse, 118 Ridley St.
    • Troup County Jail (1892), 112 Mines St., a two-story brick building with Romanesque influence built as a private residence.
