The Georgia Railroad Freight Depot (1869) is the oldest building in downtown Atlanta.
[citation needed] It is located on the east side of Central Avenue, bordered by the MARTA and freight railroad lines on its north side.
It anchors the north side of Steve Polk Plaza, which contains the old World of Coca-Cola building at its south side and an entrance to Underground Atlanta, via a tunnel under Central Avenue, on its west side.
It was the main freight depot for the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company.
