The Wilcox County Courthouse in Abbeville, Georgia was built in 1903. It was designed by architect Frank P. Milburn, who also designed several other Georgia courthouses.[2]

Its facade features cream-colored brick and stone trim. It has two Ionic tetrastyle porches.[2]

In 1980, the courthouse building stood out as impressive relative to the surrounding crossroads community of Abbeville, and it could be seen for miles.[2]
