The space has been immaculately restored by a diligent team of historical architects and contractors, under the Georgia Historical Preservation and National Park Service's guidelines. Each room is named after a significant moment from our community or a business that has occupied The McKey building over the last 117 years. Orange Grove at The McKey is one of our suites, which includes a bedroom, seating area with kitchenette, and a bathroom. This is an ADA compliant room named in honor of the McKey family orange grove in Florida. Legend has it that the funds from this farm were used to build our beautiful building.
