The Arts Council Depot was built in 1914 as one of the
only two-story railroad passenger stations in northeast Georgia. The
building operated as a passenger station for the Jefferson and Southern
Railroad until its purchase by the Gainesville Midland Railroad. In the
1940's passenger service began to wane and the facility was converted into
a freight depot. It was a working freight depot for the Gainesville
Midland Railroad and later under CSX Railroad until its purchase by the
Arts Council in 1992.
The Arts Council renovated the original structure and added two additional
buildings Additions were made to the depot to give it a grand entrance
with beveled glass doors and crystal chandelier. The central addition
overlooks the multipurpose outdoor patio area as well as the almost 2
acres of lush lawn, fenced for privacy.
The renovated depot is now home to The Arts Council, Inc. In addition to
arts programming the Depot is available for rent on a limited basis for
special events including, weddings, receptions, corporate functions etc.
