The Central of Georgia Depot in Andalusia, Alabama is a historic train station that has been converted into the Three Notch Museum.
In the late 1890s, business leaders in Andalusia posted a $5000 prize for the first rail line to pass through the town. The Central of Georgia Railway claimed the prize, completing the track in September 1899, and built a depot on land donated by residents. The town flourished with the new rail connection; population rose from 551 in 1900 to 2,480 in 1910. [2] The last Norfolk Southern train, successor to the Central of Georgia, departed Andalusia on March 31, 1983.
The wooden depot is similar in design to other small-town stations along the Central of Georgia line. The one-story, gable-roofed structure is clad with board and batten siding. Two front rooms with separate entrances were used as passenger waiting rooms. At the opposite end of the station is a large freight room. The agent's office spans the width of the building between the two, and features a gabled bay window. [3] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. [1]
The building was re-opened as a history museum in 1987; [4] named after the Three Notch Trail of which two streets (East Three Notch Street and South Three Notch Street) in Andalusia are also named.
