- On a bright and warm day in mid- November 1967, most of Augusta’s movers and shakers gathered here at the corner of Broad and Seventh street to mark the grand opening of our town’s newest and certainly tallest bank - The Georgia Railroad Bank and Trust

I wasn't there when the building was built, but I remember my mother worked downtown at the YMCA and she walked with me down to the Georgia RR Bank and opened my very first savings account. I remember the vast lobby and thought I was so grown up when I received my very first savings passbook! Great memories!
In mid September 1968 I was on a Greyhound bus enroute from Ft Jackson to Fort Gordon, on my way to basic training at FG. The one thing I remember about Augusta that Friday afternoon was the The Georgia Building looming over the roofs of downtown as we passed over the Rt 1 bridge. The one thing I saw months later on one of my two trips into town was the Georgia Building. I remember the TV ads with the locomotive chugging across the screen....."CHOO-CHOO, Georgia Railroad Bank and Trust." I've read the Georgia RR story several time over the years, and today The Georgia gleams in my mind.
Great video!
I remember when the bank was built, but I never did go in it. Thanks Bill.
I grew up in Augusta and like so many others I left ASAP for greener pastures. It is sad to see many of the physical remnants of my childhood memories fade into oblivion. I think that is time for the residents and city leaders to sit down and plan the future of the city. It will take vision and a plan focusing on education and innovation to reverse the decline.
why don't you come back and fix it? don't let others decide...take action!!!
They offered free rides to the Confederate soldiers , after the Civil War. To bring them back home.
Great video!
