ACMC Office / Historic Ukiah Depot

In the summer of 2010, the Arts Council of Mendocino County relocated its office to Ukiah, the seat of county government. At this time, the Historic Ukiah Depot had just been rehabilitated after nearly 40 years of vacancy, vandalism, and neglect. The staff of the Arts Council envisioned bringing the building back to life as a public resource and, by virtue of its location along the rail tracks, restoring it as a symbol both of a specific place — Mendocino County — and of the ties that connect us to other places and people.
