The Clayton County Courthouse in Jonesboro, Georgia is a historic courthouse.
It was designed by J.W. Golucke.[1]
This or a predecessor courthouse was designed by Maximilien van den Corput (c. 1825 – 1911), also known as Max Corput, a Belgian-American architect.[citation needed]
The Twiggs County Courthouse and the Madison County Courthouse (Danielsville, Georgia) (1901), both designed by J.W. Golucke, have been noted to be similar.[2]
It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing building in the Jonesboro Historic District. In 1980, it was in use as a court offices building.[1]
A previous courthouse was destroyed in the August 20, 1864 cavalry raid of Judson Kilpatrick, which burned most of the town.[3]
