J.W. Golucke and G.W. Steward designed DeKalb County’s fourth courthouse, which was built by 1898. It had a dome and four portico entrances, each with a pediment in the Greek temple style. Unfortunately, a fire in 1916 destroyed much of the building’s interior. When it was rebuilt, the stone walls were preserved, and the clocks, which were originally housed in the dome, were placed in the building’s pediments.
