The previous mystery was the Miller County courthouse, Colquitt, Ga., taken from Wikipedia. A few regulars recognized it, including Jay Altman of Columbia, S.C.; Stew Ogilvie, Lawrenceville; Lou Camerio, Lilburn; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex., who wrote: “Today’s mystery photo is of the front of the Miller County Courthouse in Colquitt, Ga., which is located less than 400-feet from the Cotton Hall Theater, the venue which hosts ‘Swamp Gravy,’ the official state folklife play that is performed annually there. Miller County was Georgia’s 117th county, was founded in 1856 and was named after attorney Andrew Jackson Miller (1805 – 1856), who served in the state senate and later became president of the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta. Colquitt was also designated as the county seat in1856 and was named after Walter T. Colquitt (1799 – 1855), a clergyman, attorney, and judge, who served in the U.S. Senate from 1843 to 1848. The county’s first courthouse was built in Colquitt, was replaced once and then burned twice before the current structure was completed in 1977.”
