Ashby Street Car Barn, locally known as the Ashby Street Trolley Barn, is a historic interurban carhouse in Atlanta, Georgia. It was constructed by the Atlanta Northern Railway Company in 1927, replacing a previous structure built in 1904.[2] The carhouse was the major maintenance facility for the Atlanta/Marietta interurban, which ran until January 31, 1947.[2] It had six parallel tracks inside.[3]

The carhouse was renovated in 1998 and 1999 for use as lofts and a brewery, as part of the King Plow Arts Center project.[4] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 6, 1998.
