The Lewis R. Slaton, Fulton County, Courthouse is located at 136 Pryor Street, Atlanta, GA.
?The Fulton County Courthouse was completed in 1914 at a cost of $1,250,000, Fulton County had Georgia's first million-dollar courthouse. It was also the largest, surpassing in square footage even the Georgia state capitol.
The courthouse was designed by A. Ten Eyck Brown (Morgan & Dillion, associate architects) and built in the Neoclassical Revival/Beaux Arts Classicism style. Due to Fulton County's growing population by the 1960s additional facilities were needed for the county's government. The courthouse occupied half of a square block, so a new six-story Fulton County Administration Building was built behind it to house county agencies, officials, and the Fulton County Commission. By the 1980s, however, county government had outgrown existing facilities, so in 1986 work began on a new Fulton County Government Center -- a large complex across the street from the entrance of the courthouse. Completed in 1989, this became the home for Fulton County administrative and legislative offices. In the mid-1990s, the old Administration Building was torn down and replaced by the nine-story Fulton County Justice Center Tower.
