The present-day Bradley County Courthouse is a modern structure, built in the early 1960’s.  A fire in November, 1864, destroyed some offices records.

The first courthouse was a log structure built in Cleveland, followed soon by a brick structure (see Goodspeed’s history).  The “old” courthouse in modern memory was built in 1892.
