Several of the buildings that make up East Decatur Station came to life in the early 1900’s as small repair shops or warehouses facing the railroad tracks. These were joined together, added onto and combined with newer buildings in the mid-1900’s to become a corporate headquarters and research facility. In 2002, the current ownership purchased the site and began the architectural transformation that rediscovered the original buildings. They broke apart the generic corporate envelope and returned the site to a community of small buildings linked with pleasant pedestrian walks and courtyards.
