Schley County Courthouse

Have you been to town recently and noticed our Courthouse? It really brings back old memories of when the courthouse was red. The bricks were red 55 years ago, and stayed that way until 1972.

There will be some people who won’t like the color, but these are newcomers to our community that did not see the courthouse when it was red, or either people too young to remember the red courthouse.

The company that is painting the courthouse are also repairing the windows where the wood has gotten so rotten that it needs replacing.

The color is called brick red and is trimmed in white like the old one use to be.

They started on Oct. 14. I don't know exactly when they will finish due to the weather, but they should be through in about two or three weeks.

This will really draw attention again to our courthouse, and just think what the Christmas lights will look on the courthouse this Christmas.
