They are currently renovating the Jail, so there are spots that are works in progress, but the location is a historical land mark. It is a reportedly (ok, It IS) a HAUNTED location! We were actually able to do an over night, which gave us the ability to actually investigate the location thoroughly. I personally had the experience of the "presence" of a guard walking toward me while I was in their walk way at the Solitary Confinement area. We experienced phantom voices, voices on the ovulous, and shapes appearing and interacting on the FLIR camera. Overall it was a really fun investigation. I look forward to future events.

Oddly, none of the destructions during the Civil War. The previous one had been a two story red brick structure but it was demolished in 1904 and this one, the current building, was completed the following year. The building is no longer active as a courthouse as the functions moved up the street to the Lowndes County Judicial Complex. Pretty to look through the windows though the building was secured. It is in the Neoclassical Revival style, designed by noted architect Frank Pierce Milburn (1868-1926) who is responsible for a number of other courthouses around the USA as well as the South Carolina State Capitol in Columbia. I reviewed his work in the Lake City Florida Columbia County Courthouse, https://www.yelp.com/biz/columbia-county-courthouse-lake-city?hrid=0CRpbrjx8o5QW99Z4YaigQ. There are several monuments on the courthouse grounds including the Civil War Memorial, a 9/11 memorial and a "Veterans of All Wars." Street parking is all around though has a two hour limit.
