Hampton Depot Built in 1880-81, the Central of Georgia depot at Hampton is one of Georgia's finest examples of nineteenth-century railroad architecture. The substantial red brick structure, donated to the city in 1975, was long used for municipal offices and as a police station. It is now a community center and museum. The town was called Bear Creek Station in the mid-1800s. Various repairs were being made when this photo was taken. Intricate brickwork above the entrance. Freight room doors.
