R. Young.","why_significant":"The depot is argued to be an excellent, intact small-town example of Richardsonian Romanesque design, built late enough that few depots of this style remain in Georgia. It is linked to designer S. R. Young, who later became president of the Georgia Railroad. It is also Greensboro's only surviving building, apart from a few warehouses, tied to the railroad that shaped the town's economy.","narrative":"Built around 1917 on West Street in Greensboro, this one-story brick depot with an attached wooden warehouse served the Georgia Railroad for both passengers and freight. Railroad engineer S. R. Young designed it, reportedly his first project for the company, and he later rose to become its president and general manager. The building shows Richardsonian Romanesque character in its long, low massing, broad hipped roof with bracketed eaves, bay projections and wide arched breezeways. Inside, a central octagonal office area separates the former white and black waiting rooms, a layout typical of the Southern region that survives today. The separate freight warehouse distinguishes it from many Georgia depots, where freight rooms were part of the main building. The depot is significant as an example of late Richardsonian depot design and as Greensboro's main surviving link to the railroad that carried its agricultural goods and supported the Mary Leila Cotton Mill. Freight trains still use the line, and part of the building is leased commercially.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"S. R.
