Georgia Railroad Freight Depot

Georgia Railroad Freight Depot, Historic freight depot in Downtown Atlanta, United States.

The Georgia Railroad Freight Depot is a brick building completed in 1869 on the east side of Central Avenue in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, bordered by MARTA and freight rail lines to the north. It anchors the north side of Steve Polk Plaza, with the old World of Coca-Cola building to the south and a tunnel entrance to Underground Atlanta to the west. Architects Corput and Bass designed it as the main freight depot of the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company.

Completed in 1869 for the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company, the depot was designed by (Max) Corput and Bass and served as the company's main freight depot. A fire in 1935 destroyed the upper floors and the cupola; the sources record no rebuilding afterward. In 1981 the building was renovated to accommodate events.

The building now serves as an event venue where local groups gather for banquets, trade shows, and public ceremonies. The exposed brick walls and open floor plan still hint at the space's original purpose as a working freight depot.

The depot sits in downtown Atlanta near Underground Atlanta, making it easy to reach on foot from surrounding blocks. Parking is available nearby, including decks operated by Georgia State University and other public lots along Wall Street.

The depot is the oldest building in downtown Atlanta, completed in 1869 for the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company. It anchors the north side of Steve Polk Plaza, where the old World of Coca-Cola building stands to the south and a tunnel under Central Avenue leads west into Underground Atlanta.
