1850 Row Houses in Savannah, Georgia - Historic Photo
This vintage photograph, taken in Savannah, Georgia, captures the essence of Chatham Countys architectural and social landscape around 1850. The image features row houses that were constructed in that year, showcasing a style typical of the period. These buildings were integral to the local community until their demolition in 1940 to make way for the Yamacraw Village Housing Projects.
The photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a significant collection documenting the architectural heritage of the region. The reference print, located in LOT 11835-26(G)42, provides further context and detail about the structures and their historical significance. Frances Benjamin Johnston, known for her contributions to American photography, created this image, which was later acquired from her estate in 1953.
Savannahs rich history is encapsulated in this image, which not only represents the architectural style of the time but also the daily life and community interactions that once flourished in these row houses.
