Cherokee County Courthouse in Canton, Georgia was built in 1928. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.^[1]

The previous courthouse was destroyed in a fire in March 1927. The new one was a five-story Classical Revival building that "dominates" over Canton's public square. It is significant architecturally in part because it is one of few courthouses in Georgia made of local marble.^[2]

It was designed by architect A. Ten Eyck Brown (1878-1940). There was a master sculptor, Jimmy Watt, who supervised other sculptors including David Ashe Herschel Couch and B. Maloni who carved the four eagles above the front portico.^[2]
