Located at 120 East Washington Avenue in Summerville, Georgia, the Summerville Depot is a one-story frame railway station built in 1918 in the Prairie School architectural style. The building features a hipped roof with wide eaves and weatherboard siding above tongue-and-groove exterior wainscoting, exemplifying the restrained elegance characteristic of the style. Originally constructed as a combination passenger and freight depot on the Central of Georgia's Griffin and Chattanooga division, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. The Chattooga County Historical Society acquired the building in 1989 and undertook restoration efforts to serve the historical society and civic organizations, with plans to incorporate museum exhibits including period railroad artifacts. Since 2023, the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga has resumed operating occasional excursion trains between its Grand Junction Station and the Summerville Depot.
