Norcross has the distinction of being the only location in Gwinnett County to have a district listed in the U.S. Register of Historic Places. The district comprises 112 acres and is located along South Peachtree Street, North Peachtree Street and Lawrenceville Street including the downtown area.
Approximately fifty private residences, twenty businesses, three church buildings and one library are located in the district. A major renovation of the downtown area took place in 1987. Turn-of-the-century street lighting now welcomes visitors and residents alike to beautiful shade-tree lined brick sidewalks throughout the downtown area.
The present depot, built in 1906, is owned by the city but leased to private businesses which now include the very successful Norcross Station Cafe. Interesting old time railroad station atmosphere still exists in this restaurant. Trains still pass by right outside, but will not distract you from the good time inside. The food is excellent! Try the Calabash shrimp, cheese toast and sweet tea. They are outstanding and so are the babyback ribs.nt a winner for the entire family. |
