The stone-and-brick heart of every Georgia county.
The Story
The Atkinson County Courthouse in Pearson is a brick Neoclassical Revival building erected in 1920, designed by architect J. J. Baldwin for a county that had been created only in 1917. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1980, as part of a statewide listing of Georgia's historic county courthouses, and was renovated in the early 1980s. The building anchors the small county's courthouse square in Pearson and remains its seat of government. No specific landmark trial, execution, or Civil War event at the courthouse is documented in reliable sources, leaving its architecture and its role as the young county's civic center as its principal claims to interest.
