Conyers
Conyers' old Georgia Railroad depot, built in 1891-92 (another source gives the date as 1898), is unusual in Georgia with its two-story center section. The station has been restored by the Rockdale County Historical Society and is now used as a meeting and banquet facility. The county seat of Rockdale County, Conyers is a city of 12,000 on the east side of metro Atlanta.

A 1953 photograph of a Georgia Railroad freight train stopping at the depot is online at the Vanishing Georgia website. Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage. Copyright, Steve Storey.
