Gadsden County Courthouse - Courthouses on Waymarking.com

"The first local facility used for a courthouse was the log home of Robert Forbes, a prominent early settler and land grantee. Local tradition holds that portions of this building still stand, incorporated into a structure now occupied by the Talquin Electric Cooperative. The first of three courthouses to be located in the Quincy public square was erected in 1826-7. It too was constructed of logs, at a cost of about $50. This structure burned in 1849, supposedly an act of arson by a Forbes family slave.

A brick courthouse – similar to but smaller than the one in current use - was erected in 1850-1. The present courthouse, built in the Classical Revival style, dates from 1912-3"
