Bullock
County Courthouse Historic District
The
Bullock County Courthouse Historic District in Union Springs
consists of 47 structures along three blocks of Prairie Street.
Focal
point of the district is the 1871 courthouse which is one of the
finest post-bellum courthouses in the state and the only
representative
of the Second Empire Style. Most of the buildings were
constructed from the 1860s to 1910 during which time the
town
became the political, commercial and social center of Bullock
County. Although several buildings have been altered the
district
retains the appearance and character of the late 19th Century county
seat.
Erected 1984 by the Bullock County Historical Society
