The former courthouse in Swainsboro, built in 1940 and since demolished, and a sheriff department building, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 as Emanuel County Courthouse and Sheriff Department. The Sheriff Department building, built in 1912, is a one-story Classical Revival building with a pedimented entrance portico. It was designed by Augusta, Georgia, architect L.F. Goodrich.
The 1940 courthouse served as Emanuel County's justice building, replacing the 1920 courthouse that was destroyed in a 1938 fire.[2] It was designed in Stripped Classical style by architects Dennis and Dennis.[2] The courthouse was demolished in 2000, but a historical marker remains.[3]
