The Wheeler County Courthouse, a Neoclassical brick structure at 119 Pearl Street in Alamo, Georgia, was originally built in 1914 shortly after the town became the county seat of the newly established Wheeler County. Designed by Ed Hosford as his final Georgia courthouse commission, the original building featured columned facades on each side but burned in 1916. It was promptly rebuilt in 1917 under architect Frank P. Milburn's Neoclassical design, which proved relatively lavishly ornamented compared to its contemporaries, distinguished by its pilasters and elaborate Corinthian capitals. Following a renovation in 1961, the courthouse was recognized as a historic landmark when added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1980.
