GeorgiaThe historic Paulding County Courthouse in Dallas, the county's third, was built in 1892 in a Queen Anne style by the Atlanta firm Bruce & Morgan and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Three decades earlier the town sat at the center of one of the Atlanta Campaign's bloodiest stretches: in late May 1864 roughly 170,000 Union and Confederate troops fought across Paulding County for nearly two weeks in the linked battles of Dallas, New Hope Church, and Pickett's Mill as Sherman maneuvered against Joseph Johnston. The courthouse standing during the war was a different building, located across Main Street from the present one, which postdates the fighting. In March 2001 the 1892 courthouse was targeted by arson that destroyed the district attorney's office, though the building itself survived and has since been repeatedly restored. A three-story annex was appended in 1990, and the clock-towered landmark still anchors the Dallas public square.
