The “1907” restaurant building is located in the historic district of Ellijay, Georgia, and houses a retail dress shop in the lower left commercial space with the 1907 Restaurant taking the remainder of the building, which includes the lower right commercial unit, the back patio area and the entire second floor, with total building square footage of 6,612. It’s brick construction lends to the historic feel, with brick walls not only on the exterior but also the first floor interior. Traces of old product advertisements are still faintly visible on the outside and a backdrop for many tourist photos. Construction of this building originally started around 1907, thus the name of the restaurant, although this building was originally a pool hall for the locals and served mainly hot dogs. Upstairs were several apartments that were rented on an annual basis. Over the years, there were upgrades to the building but starting 2012-2015 a total renovation took place, with the interior of the building stripped down to it’s exterior and interior walls and then rebuilt. It became effectively a new building with a historic exterior. In 2017 additional renovations took place, reworking the upstairs bar area, the adjoining banquet/special events room and then the downstairs bar. New barrel style bar tables and chairs were added, giving it a more rustic ambiance.
