Carrollton

Carrollton is currently (2010-12) rehabilitating its ca. 1875 Central of Georgia Railway depot on Bradley Street. Once threatened with demolition by Norfolk Southern, the building was acquired by the City so that it could be saved and converted to a new use.



(Above, the depot before rehab work began.)

There's some uncertainty about when this depot was constructed. Some say it was 1888; others say earlier. Wilber Caldwell (see Sources & References) puts it closer to 1875. In any case, the front portion appears to be a newer addition.

Carrollton, the county seat of Carroll County, is a city of 20,000 in west Georgia.
