The Old Banks County Courthouse is in Homer, Georgia. Construction started in 1860 but was interrupted because of the Civil War. Construction was paid for with $6,600 in Confederate money. Construction was finished in 1875. (The Georgia Courthouse Manual dates it as completed in 1863.) The building is a two-story brick courthouse with a stone foundation in the Greek Revival style. It is similar to many courthouses in Virginia, which is a result of the builders being from Virginia. It has Tuscan columns that are on top of one-story brick piers. The interior originally had a cross plan. The courtroom and judge's chambers are on the second floor, which are accessed by outside double stairways.

"Great stay"

Courtyard by Marriott Gainesville GA

10/10 Excellent

" This is a newer hotel and it shows — everything is clean, modern, and well-maintained. The rooms are comfortable, with a spacious and stylish bathroom that feels upscale. Housekeeping keeps everything spotless, and the atmosphere throughout is fresh and welcoming. The location is great, with several nice restaurants just a 2-minute walk away. While the hotel does offer breakfast, it’s limited and overpriced compared to the many better options within a 2-minute drive. The only real drawback is the $15/day parking fee, which feels unnecessary given the area. Overall, I had a great stay and would happily return. With just a few tweaks to the breakfast and parking policies, it would easily be a five-star experience."
