Savannah Buildings

This morning we ventured down Bull St., a main north/south street in historic savannah, with lots of lovely old buildings. These pictures are from our walk.

This is the Savannah National Guards building. There have been Savannah guards units since the revolutionary war, and on the front of the building two old cannon barrels are mounted vertically (sorry, they're not very visible in my picture).


This Scottish Rite Temple building housed Solomon's Pharmacy on the corner, which is now the home of the Gryphon Tea Room (more about that in the next post). A lovely building with beautiful detail around the coving trim. 


Further south on Bull Street is one of Savannah's most famous squares, Forsyth Park. Here I am by the fountain in the park.


There are hundreds of large, lovely, beautifully kept homes along and around Bull St and 
Forsyth Park. Here are three of them on the edge of the park.
