From auto repair shop to Middle Georgia's first Alternative Dispute Resolution Center, the Adams ADR building has quite a story to tell.
Originally built around 1924 for the Williams Manufacturing Company, this five-bay garage was thoughtfully rehabilitated by BTBB in 2017, preserving its character-defining features while transforming it into modern office, conference, and mediation spaces. An addition extended the footprint to accommodate additional workspace and a new employee entrance. The project was certified for Historic Tax Credits by the National Park Service.
The work earned two prestigious recognitions: the Historic Macon Foundation's Excellence in Preservation Award and The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation's Excellence in Rehabilitation Award.
Thank you, Adams ADR, for trusting BTBB to honor this building's past while shaping its future.
BTBB—50 years of preserving and building Georgia's story!
