The courthouse was entered into the United States' National Register of Historic Places in 1980;[1] it is a contributing building in the Woodbine Historic District, which was listed on the NRHP in 1999.

[1][2] The building was designed by Julian de Bruyn Kops (1862–1942).

Since its completion in 1928, it has served not only as a courthouse for Georgia's Camden County, but also as a venue for meetings, commerce, and other functions.

[2] It was nominated for the NRHP as Georgia's only 20th-century example of Late Gothic Revival architecture.

[3] It sports a brick façade, castellated portico and parapets, and rectangular windows with crown molding.
