GM&O Building and AfricaTown Cemetery

The GM&O building, which stands for Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad, was the train station in downtown Mobile for many years.  It is now an office complex, as well as, a transportation hub for the City Metro Transit System or as it is called the WAVE.  There are still tracks behind the building but they no longer serve the building.  These were taken on July 1.


The same day We went over to the AfricaTown Cemetery, which is the site of one of the oldest Slave Settlements and Cemeteries in the country.
