Yes, there's a wonderful book that the association of county commissioners put out, "Courthouses of Georgia", with photographs of all the courthouses in Georgia that they could find. Old photos, sketches, drawings, etc. I noticed when I looked on Amazon that there's a new edition out - I have the first which was published some time back in the 80s.

It was a godsend when one of the prettiest courthouses in the state, the red-brick railroad-Gothic Hancock County courthouse, burned to the ground. They were able to reconstruct it precisely!

Wow! That is one amazing Southern brick courthouse! I love how they kept the big tall windows as found in the old wooden courthouses. In addition to letting in lots or sunlight, they give courtrooms a church-like feel. As if to say “we invested in these very expensive windows because we take Justice as seriously as churches take the Gospel and, after all, our Rule of Law is ultimately derived from the Bible.”
