Old Medical College Building
Located on the 500 block of Telfair Street, the old Medical College building was completed in 1835 and served as the first medical school in Georgia. Designed in Greek Revival style by nationally known architect Charles B. Cluskey, it served the Medical College of Georgia until 1911 when the college moved to Harper Street. Recently renovated, it now serves as a site for community functions.

The historical marker located in front reads as follows:
"On this property, owned by the Trustees of Richmond Academy, this building was designed by the distinguished Georgia architect, Charles B. Cluskey, for the use by the Medical College of Georgia. It was occupied by the Medical College from its completion in 1835 until 1911, when the College removed to University Place. After removal of the Medical College this building was used for the manual training and science departments of the Richmond Academy until 1926."
