Decatur Decatur's 1891 Georgia Railroad depot was used as a restaurant and acoustic music hall (called The Freight Room) in the 1980s and early 1990s. It was empty when the photo above was taken around 2001. Shortly afterwards it was given to the city by CSX with the condition that it be moved away from the tracks. With the assistance of a Transportation Enhancement grant, the city was able to move it 34 feet and take possession. Here's the depot after the move. The county seat of DeKalb County, Decatur is a city of 18,000 on the east side of Atlanta.   Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage. Copyright, Steve Storey.
