Design Commission at its annual Awards of Excellence ceremony.

Press Release Body: The Depot won Best Adaptive Use Award by Atlanta\'s Urban Design
Commission at its annual Awards of Excellence ceremony. The restaurant was
originally a brick rail center with red tile roof that sat vacant for over fifty
years before architect William Jay George of G6 Design and interior designer Bill
Peace of Peace Design meticulously restored it. In keeping with the historical
character and many architectural details, some notable design elements include the
restored large sliding cargo/bay doors, original brick tiles, an expanded platform
used for deck dining as well as old railroad tracks placed as foot rests at the rich
wood bar that spans the length of the dining room.

\"We worked hard to bring this incredible building back to life and preserve a
historic element of Atlanta,\" said Depot partner Chip Ney after receiving the award
from Mayor Shirley Franklin. \"It is an honor to receive such a prestigious award.\"
