The Pierce County Courthouse, built in 1902, is on US 84 in Blackshear, GA.
"The legislation creating Pierce County provided that until a county seat was selected and a courthouse built, county courts would be conducted at the house of Mrs. Nancy Stewart. In 1858, a courthouse was built in Blackshear -- but this structure burned in 1875. That same year, a new courthouse was built at the location of the present courthouse. This building was torn down and replaced by the current courthouse in 1902. The building was remodeled in the 1970s, with a rear addition constructed in 1975."
