Chatham County Superior Court

The Chatham County Superior Court stands apart with its massive, rusticated granite base and the towering classical columns that define its facade. Built in nineteen oh six, the structure replaced a Victorian courthouse that could no longer accommodate the growing legal demands of Savannah. It served as the center of the local justice system for nearly a century. During the nineteen eighties, the building became the primary setting for the murder trials of Jim Williams, a story chronicled in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
