The Chattanooga Choo Choo, which houses Gate 11 Distillery, was built in 1909, and this massive and beautiful Beaux-Arts structure is an international symbol of the historic rail heritage of Chattanooga. Saved from demolition in the early 1970s by a local investor group, the Choo Choo complex is undergoing another reinvention with exciting new entertainment, dining, and retail offerings.
