Historic Savannah Architecture Photo, Georgia 1953
Frances Benjamin Johnston captured this historic photograph of a prominent structure in Savannah, Georgia, located in Chatham County. Built between 1850 and 1861 for Charles Green, the building features architectural elements designed by an unknown English architect. The image highlights the intricate stairways and sculptures that characterize the craftsmanship of the time.
Johnstons work is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, which aimed to document significant architectural sites across the region. This survey holds great value for understanding the architectural heritage of the South.
The photograph, sourced from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, serves as a visual record of Savannahs rich architectural history. As a well-preserved example of mid-19th century design, it invites viewers to explore the stories embedded within its walls.
