The space Each room is unique and built around the existing walls of our 1906 building. 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. Converse and Co was named in honor of the first business to occupy our building, A. Converse and Co., a clothing department store. Throughout our buildings history the Converse family had multiple business within our walls, including a law firm and insurance company. Guest access While staying at The McKey, guests will have access to their individual rooms, a shared corridor, and Gūd Coffee during their normal business hours.
