Dalton depots The old Western & Atlantic depot at 110 Depot Street in Dalton was constructed in 1852. It now houses a popular restaurant. A couple of blocks down the tracks to the south is the 1914 Southern Railway depot (below). Rehabilitated in 2009, it now houses the local convention & visitors bureau and the Downtown Dalton Development Authority. The Southern Railway freight depot before its rehabilitation.

The local Southern Express office was adjacent, on the north side of the depot. Neither building exists today. (See 1914 Sanborn map for location.) Dalton, a city of 30,000 and growing, is the county seat of Whitfield County in northwest Georgia. More info on the depot at roadsidegeorgia.com.
