Colquitt County Courthouse
Moultrie, Georgia
OMC
was involved in the design and fabrication of several components
applied to the restoration of the Colquitt County Courthouse in
Moultrie, Georgia. Working closely with the project architects
and referring to archival photographs from the County Historical
Society, OMC was able to create custom pediments that captured
the historic look of the original courthouse in
modern materials and adapted to the present day structure. OMC
also provided the custom balustrade system
on the parapet and clock tower. The slender, graceful shape of
the baluster seen here is the result of digitizing an old wooden
baluster found in the courthouse attic and scaling it up to the
desired size with the aid of a computer. The modern version is
made of rotationally-cast FRP with a polyurethane foam core.
