on the actual Historic Building Map. If a building is not designated as historic, no number is provided in the column. Date Added is the date that the Mayor and Alderman designated the building as historic. Date Built is the known date of construction. Additional dates may indicate the period of construction which may have lasted 10 years, a major renovation, addition, or reconstruction. PIN No. is the Property Identification Number at the time the map was amended (December 2010). Properties are often subdivided and recombined so PIN Nos. may change. Addresses in parenthesis ( ) are other know addresses that the building may have been previously designated under. An asterisks * beside an address indicates that due to an administrative oversight, these structures were overlooked in the Revised Historic Building Map published in 2009. They appear on the original version as adopted in 1973. 1 WARDWARD MAPMAP SavannahSavannah HistoricHistoric DistrictDistrict NORTH OGLETHORPE Legend Savannah River NEW FRANKLIN & Historic District WHARF LOTS Ward MIDDLE OGLETHORPE FRANKLIN River DECKER DERBY REYNOLDS LIBERTY SOUTH OGLETHORPE WARREN HEATHCOTE WASHINGTON PERCIVAL TRUSTEES GARDEN ANSON ELBERT COLUMBIA RAILROAD JACKSON GREENE BROWN CURRIE CRAWFORD TOWN PULASKI O'NEIL CHOCTAW JASPER WALTON LAFAYETTE BERRIEN TROUP CHATHAM BARTOW MONTEREY MINIS CALHOUN WESLEY GARDEN GASTON DAVIS CHARLTON 0365 730 1,460 2,190 2,920 FORSYTH Feet STEPHENS MERCER ¶ OCEAN TERMINAL ROAD WADLEY ST L O U I S V U S I L L H E W R Y W D O GL 1 ETHOR 7 PE / AVE / U U S S HWY 17 N S RA / M P W H W O G Y L 1 E 7 T S H O R R A P M E P A V E R A M P U S H W O Y C 1 7 E N A / N L O T U E I S R V M I L L I N E A R D L C A R N R AL O A ST M A P D W ARNE R ST BO UN D AR US Y HW ST Y 1 7 N / W GW I NN ET T ST R AM P PRIVATE DRIVE ST PRIVATE DRIVE ST BOUNDARY ST S Y C A M O R E S T M C G UIR E S LUMBER ST T I N D I A N S T J COYLE ST O N E S S T FAHM ST COYLE ST T L O U V I S I S V B I I E T C L O R L O E R R H I E C E R E N E N M D N E S S T R T T E O A R G L L D D E R T D T I H V U R E O R N R E P E R A B V L E V D WILSON ST C A P E D S R T A Y P G O E W U R I M I N 1 S G 6 A N T W E N E S I T N / T M N S A E T C R T T T S I N T E L U X T PURSE ST T H E R K I N

  • The Squares of Savannah Luciana Spracher, Municipal Archives Director City of Savannah
    The Squares of Savannah Luciana Spracher, Municipal Archives Director City of Savannah The Original Six Squares Upon establishing the settlement of Savannah in 1733, General James Oglethorpe laid out a unique town plan utilizing a grid system composed of building blocks called wards. Each ward included a central square surrounded by four tythings divided into 10 building lots for residences, and four trust lots reserved for the town’s public buildings. The central squares have always been public spaces, but they have fulfilled a variety of functions over time, evolving into the lush urban forest Savannah is known for today. 1. Johnson Square was Savannah’s first square, laid out in 1733 by General Oglethorpe, and named for South Carolina Governor Robert Johnson, who provided aid to the colonists. The cornerstone for the fifty-foot obelisk honoring Revolutionary War hero Nathanael Greene was laid in 1825 by the Marquis de Lafayette. 2. Wright Square was selected by Oglethorpe as the final resting place for Tomochichi, chief of the local Yamacraw tribe, as a sign of his importance to Savannah. Today a monument of Georgia granite in the southeast corner honors this important leader in Savannah’s history, as does the Tomochichi Federal Courthouse overlooking what is also called “courthouse square.” 3. Ellis Square was home to a series of public markets until 1954 when the last City Market building was demolished for a parking garage, helping to spark Savannah’s world-famous historic preservation movement. Ellis Square has since been rehabilitated into a new outdoor public space, serving as an anchor for the surrounding City Market district 4.

    Acclaim for JOHN BERENDT’s MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL “Uproarious … a rich, irresistible mix of snobbery, mayhem, sex, mind-boggling parochialism and mildewed magnolias. …A glorious vanity fair of human folly.” —The Boston Globe “One of the most unusual books to come this way in a long time and one of the best…. There is every reason to celebrate [t]his surpris- ing, wonderful book.” 3/1013 —Jonathan Yardley, The Wash- ington Post Book World “The best nonfiction novel since In Cold Blood and a lot more en- tertaining…. Berendt’s book has everything going for it—snobbism, ruthless power, voodoo, local color, and a totally evil estheticism. I read it till dawn.” —Edmund White “Raunchy, witty, urbane and scan- dalous … a romp through many worlds—high and low…. For a good time read this book.” —Houston Chronicle “Berendt works up his material like a chef on a devilish mission. The result is a feast all right…. He 4/1013 has the old money down as dead- on as the new—as the no money, for that matter. And here is the highest praise I can muster: Wish I’d written the damn thing.” —Gregory Jaynes, Esquire “Rip-roaringly funny and compel- ling….A veritable Bent-Spoon River of oddballs, hustlers, so- ciopaths and historic preservationists.” —San Francisco Chronicle JOHN BERENDT MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL John Berendt has been the editor of New York magazine and an Esquire columnist.

  • { Architecture } Understand That Savannah Is Not a City Preserved in Amber
    Sav Tours pp-1-46_Layout 1 2/28/13 11:28 AM Page 10 Sav Tours pp-1-46_Layout 1 2/28/13 11:28 AM Page 11 INTRODUCTION u Each year millions of visitors come to Savannah, Georgia, to walk the tree-lined streets of the nation’s largest National Landmark Historic District. The original one-square-mile city plan, which General James Edward Oglethorpe designed in the 1700s, offers a perfect way to experience 18th and 19th century architecture and green spaces. With cobblestone streets, century-year-old oaks, moss-draped crepe myrtles, twenty-two elegantly manicured squares, a busy seaport, and hundreds of historic homes, it is a town to experience on foot, the way people lived in the 1800s. Our task in writing this book was to help you see the city through different lenses—through the architecture, commerce, social life, and art of the 1800s. Museums and historic museum houses along the way allow you to come inside meticulously maintained historic buildings. Moreover, we have tried to recount enough stories of people, places, and things that happened along each route to make your imagination leap back 150 years and more. We all like the idea of time travel, and Savannah’s Historic District allows something of that along certain streets, at special times of day, and at night when the gaslights glow and the only sound you hear is the clip- clop of a horse-drawn carriage. { architectUre } Understand that Savannah is not a city preserved in amber. It is a vibrant, bustling city of college students, office workers, profes- sional people, families, retirees, merchants, inns, and restaurants.

  • Savannah, Ga.) Photographs
    Foltz Photography Studio (Savannah, Ga.) photographs Descriptive Summary Repository: Georgia Historical Society Creator: Cordray, Augusta Klask, 1900-1971. Creator: Foltz, George Raymond, approximately 1881-1957. Title: Foltz Photography Studio (Savannah, Ga.) photographs Dates: 1899-1960 Extent: 40.05 cubic feet (83 boxes) Identification: MS 1360 Biographical/Historical Note The Foltz Photography Studio in Savannah, Georgia was established by George Raymond Foltz (circa 1881-1957), a native of Shamokin, Pennsylvania. Foltz came to Savannah in 1899 from Atlantic City, New Jersey, where he was associated with the boardwalk photography studio of Harry Phillips. His Savannah business was known as Franklin and Foltz (116 Bull Street) in 1900, then Foltz and Co. in 1901. In 1915, Foltz moved the studio to 240 Bull Street. He relocated the business again in 1917, to 10 West Broughton Street, where it remained until 1954, known during this time as Foltz Studio and as Foltz Photography. Between 1954 and 1965, the studio was operated at 30 West Broughton Street. Foltz retired in 1949, and the business was acquired by Augusta Klask Cordray (Mrs. Arthur A., 1900-1971), a native of Bonn, Germany. George Foltz died in 1957 and was survived by his wife, Robena Wilson Foltz, and three brothers. Mrs. Cordray, who had worked for Foltz since the 1920's, continued to operate the studio under the names, Foltz Photography and Foltz Studio until her retirement in the 1960's. After the studio closed in 1965, Mrs. Cordray donated the studio's photograph collection to the Georgia Historical Society. Scope and Content Note This collection consists of photographic prints and negatives (including glass negatives) produced by the Foltz Photography Studio in Savannah, Georgia, primarily depicting the Savannah/Chatham County, Georgia area from the early 1900's up to 1960.

  • Tour Guide Manual
    Tour Guide Manual MANUAL FOR THE INSTRUCTION AND LICENSING OF TOUR GUIDES IN THE CITY OF SAVANNAH The “Manual for the Instruction and Licensing of Tour Guides in the City of Savannah” has been designed to provide a history for tour guides to study. The manual presents Savannah’s Landmark Historic District ward by ward and square by square, and includes information on important buildings, monuments and fountains. A slender history precedes the instructional data. This is not meant to be a definitive history of the city, but a context within which to understand the development of the historic district and its perimeter. Several resources are provided as an addendum which may be useful in developing narratives to accompany the information provided. Knowledgeable tourism professionals, research assistants and scholarly readers have collaboratively produced the information in this manual. Despite a year of research, we realize that this manual may not be the last word on any particular subject. We have used the most credible information and the most reliable resources available, but would always appreciate learning new information from readers of this document. The compilers of this manual assume that persons electing to guide our visitors around Savannah take pride in the city and avoid deliberately giving false information. Entertaining but unsubstantiated myths are inevitably revealed to be just that, and the tourist who remembers being provided with false information is not likely to recommend the experience to others. The beauty of Savannah, its architecture, parks and monuments and its exceptional plan together create a fascinating story about the history of Georgia’s First City.
