The Washington County Courthouse was an historic brick courthouse building located in Chipley, Florida. It was built in 1932 in the Classical Revival style after Chipley won a 1927 referendum to move the county seat from Vernon.[1][2][3]
In 1989, the Washington County Courthouse was listed in A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture, published by the University of Florida Press.[4]
The 1932 courthouse has since been demolished, due to damage at the base of the building and black mold. A new courthouse was constructed over a two-year period atop the site of the former building.[5][6] The new courthouse was completed in 2016, and was open to the public in December 2016.[7]
