GeorgiaGlynn County drew international attention in 2021 as the venue for the murder trial of the three men who chased down and killed Ahmaud Arbery, a young Black man, near Brunswick in February 2020; that trial, which ended in guilty verdicts, was heard in the county's active courthouse rather than in this 1907 landmark. The Old Glynn County Courthouse itself was built in 1906-1907 in the Renaissance Revival style to designs by architect Charles Alling Gifford, its cornerstone laid in December 1906 and construction completed a year later. Set amid a landscaped, moss-draped square that is often photographed as one of Georgia's most beautiful courthouse grounds, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 26, 1979. It is a contributing property within the Brunswick Old Town Historic District and remains a civic centerpiece of the coastal city.
