County Courthouse
Political
Opportunists kept confusion reigning: another election was held in
1868; Seale won; excavation began; records were
removed
from the former county seat at Crawford to a nearby store until
rooms were sufficiently complete. Permanent funding was
not
enacted until 1871, the total cost being $9,600.00. Simeon O'Neal
was the contractor. The wing rooms, the inside stairs, and
exterior
rebricking was accomplished in 1908. In 1935 the branch at
Phenix City was elected the county seat with Seale remaining
a
branch until it was closed in 1943.
