It is located at North Oliver Street and Deadwyler Street. It was built in 1910 and served as a Seaboard Air Line passenger station. The station has overhanging eaves supported by large Stick style-brackets.[2]

The station served the SAL's Silver Comet and some passenger, mail and express trains. The last train was the Silver Comet, which was discontinued in 1969.[3][4] It is now home to the Elbert County Historical Society, and is well preserved.[5]
