The town of Blue Ridge offers eclectic shopping and dining in a quaint small town setting. With the historic Blue Ridge Depot at its center, Blue Ridge is a center for arts and galleries, antiques, unique shopping and eateries.
Blue Ridge was once considered an elite health resort because of its pure mineral waters. It was established as a railroad town, with the depot at its heart. Visitors would ride the train to town, eat dinner at the Blue Ridge Hotel, and take a leisurely walk to the mineral springs after dinner. Today's visitors still ride the train and take leisurely walks along Main Street, enjoying the antique and specialty shops, galleries, restaurants, small town atmosphere and friendly people of Blue Ridge. The town was founded in 1886 as a result of the arrival of the Marietta and North Georgia Railroad. In the early years, at different times, there were five hotels and several boarding houses in downtown Blue Ridge.

Austin Design IncAddition and renovation of a vacation home in the hills of Heath
Massachusetts. The first floor of the home was extensively renovated
including a new kitchen, bath room and laundry room. Additions include a
breakfast nook, window bay, entry foyer, a two story screened porch and
most importantly; a 75 foot-long indoor lap pool.
The pool design is based on the upright wings of the airplane, as the owner
is an avid aviator as well as a tri-athlete. Large expanses of glass allow
natural light to stream into the year-round training space. Cedar siding
and extensive stone work ground the modern form of the building in the
natural landscape.
