Depot Street, Hartwell
Depot Street is a great example of revitalization and repurposing of historical structures. Colorful facades add to the appeal.
The street, a block off the courthouse square and highway traffic, is very pedestrian friendly.
There’s an artsy feel, as well, with the Hart County Community Theatre and High Cotton Music Hall (above) adding a cultural vibe.

Hart County Courthouse, 1971, Hartwell
In a downtown anchored by historic commercial storefronts, Hart County’s 1971 Modern courthouse is anachronistic. Though I’m not a fan of the style in its context here, the grounds are very inviting and pedestrian friendly. This is the fourth courthouse to serve Hart County since its creation in 1854.
