Terminal Station, Macon, Georgia, is a railroad station that was built in 1916,[2] and is located on 5th St. at the end of Cherry St. It was designed in the Beaux-Arts style by architect Alfred T. Fellheimer (1875–1959), prominent for his design of Grand Central Terminal in New York City in 1903. The station building is part of the Macon Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3] While no longer an active train station, it has been the location of the Macon Transit Authority bus hub since 2014.[4]
