The Bulloch County Courthouse is an historic courthouse building located in Statesboro, Georgia. Built in 1894, it was designed by Bruce & Morgan.[2] In 1914 it was renovated by Georgia-born American architect Edward Columbus Hosford, who is noted for the courthouses and other buildings that he designed in Florida, Georgia and Texas.[3][4]
On September 18, 1980, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
From 1998 to 2000 major exterior and interior renovations were done to undo or mitigate the results of haphazard renovations over the years and to return the building to its 1914 splendor.[5] Martin, Rule & Associates, of Statesboro were the architects for this project.[6]
