architect of the period, Frank P. Milburn. The structure is of Dutch
Revival style with Romanesque influence. It is built of brick, stone,
pressed tin and terra cotta with a stone foundation and an arched brick
walkway. The Southern Railway terminal and warehouse historic district
is on the National Register of Historic Places and consisted of 81 buildings
along Gay Street, State Street, and Central Avenue.
