Turner County Courthouse
Turner County Courthouse is a historic county courthouse in Ashburn, Georgia, the county seat of Turner County, Georgia. The Classical Revival building was designed by two Macon architects, Alexander Blair III (who also designed seven other Georgia courthouses) and Peter E. Dennis.〔Wilber W. Caldwell, ''The Courthouse and the Depot: The Architecture of Hope in an Age of Despair'' (Mercer University Press, 2001), p. 419-20.〕〔(Turner County Courthouse ), GeorgiaInfo, Digital Library of Georgia.〕 The courthouse is located at 219 East College Avenue, close to several historic homes.〔''The New Georgia Guide'' (University of Georgia Press, 1996), p. 478.〕〔Victoria Logue & Frank Logue, ''Touring the Backroads of North and South Georgia'' (John F. Blair, 1997), p. 382.〕
The courthouse was constructed in 1907-1908,〔 shortly after the county was formed by an act of the Georgia Legislature on August 18, 1905, from parts of Dooly, Irwin, Wilcox, and Worth counties.〔〔〔〔Paul T. Hellmann, ''Historical Gazetteer of the United States'' (Routledge, 2005), p. 217.〕 Ashburn was designated the county seat when the county was formed.〔〔 The courthouse has served as the county government's offices since that time.〔 The Turner County Courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1980. The courthouse underwent restorations in 1984 and 2001.〔
==Architecture==
The construction is of brick and stone, and the ''New Georgia Guide'' published by the University of Georgia Press describes the building as "impressive."〔 While the other courthouses designed by Alexander Blair III reflect traditional Neoclassicism, the design of the Turner County Courthouse (like the Decatur County Courthouse) is characterized by Neoclassical variations.〔〔(Georgia County Courthouses Thematic Resources ), National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form (1980).〕 It features a more flamboyant style that reflect the influence of Neo-Georgian/Colonial Revival architecture, giving a historical atmosphere to the building,〔 as well as a somewhat Italianate appearance.〔 The courthouse is asymmetrical because it includes a three-story clock tower, located on the west side of the building.〔George Lansing Taylor Jr., (Turner County Courthouse Clock Tower, Ashburn, GA ), University of North Florida Digital Commons (photograph taken September 4, 2011).〕 The clock was made by the E. Howard Watch & Clock Company.〔 The courthouse still has the original tin tiles, popular when the building was constructed, as well as an upper balcony where, before desegregation, blacks were required to sit.〔(Attorney Ash Tours the Historic Turner County Courthouse Located in Ashburn, Georgia ) (December 2012), Landrum, Friduss & Ash LLP.〕 A state historical marker, erected by the Georgia Historical Commission in 1954, is located on the courthouse lawn.〔(Turner County State Historical Marker ), GeorgiaInfo, Digital Library of Georgia.〕
