The Camilla Commercial Historic District in Camilla, Georgia is a 7-acre (2.8 ha) historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It then included 23 contributing buildings. The majority of structures are one- to three-story brick commercial buildings, that are "modest examples of the Victorian Eclectic, Early 20th-century Commercial, and Art Deco styles and represent local builder/architects' interpretations of nationally popular styles." The commercial buildings are contrasted by the white marble Mitchell County Courthouse, which was designed by Atlanta architect William J.J. Chase (1884-1967) and built in the mid-1930s.[2]
