Rabinowitz Building


The Rabinowitz Building is a historic building in Alma, Georgia. It was built in 1915 and is located at 203-205 West Eleventh Street. It is a good example of a commercial, multi-use building in a small town. It is unusual as it uses glazed bricks on the front and has an ornamented metal cornice, which seems to have been a specialty of Manning Sullivan, a local builder.
The building was used in commerce by William Rabinowitz, a Jewish immigrant. His residence was at the rear of the building. It is also significant in that the second floor was used as the original county courthouse from 1915 until a new courthouse was built in 1920. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 27, 1987.
