Central Of Georgia Railway Company Shop Property
The Central Railroad was acquired by the Southern Railway in 1963, leading to the decline of all CG buildings in Savannah.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 5, 1970. The CG Depot and Trainshed were added to the NRHP and then declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976, and the Central of Georgia Railroad: Savannah Shops and Terminal Facilities were split off from the station onto its own registry in 1978.
Today it is known as Clark Hall (formerly Eichberg Hall), a branch of the Savannah College of Art and Design School of Building Arts. The Gray Building was the original museum, which was named Kiah Hall in 1993.
