It is part of the Savannah Historic District, and was built in 1881 for Fred Hull. In a survey for Historic Savannah Foundation, Mary Lane Morrison found the building to be of significant status.The building was used as the venue for the Married Women's Card Club visited by John Cusack in the 1997 movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Jim Williams, upon whom both the movie and the book on which it was based was centered, purchased the house in the mid-1980s and began an extensive restoration program on it; he died before it was completed, however. Around that time, it was the Granite Steps guest house, so named for its double-entry staircase that ascends from the street.Since 2006, the property has been owned by the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD).

Wesley Monumental United Methodist Church is a Methodist church in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Located in Taylor Square, at 429 Abercorn Street, the building's first floor was completed in 1875, with the second floor added in 1878. The church was completed in 1890. Its spire and stucco were added five years later. The church is dedicated to John Wesley and Charles Wesley, the founders of Methodism, who came to Savannah in the 1730s. The church's design is based on that of Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam, Netherlands. In 1968, a centennial marker noting the 1868 foundation of the church's congregation was placed on an exterior wall of the church. An earlier, octagonal church (known as the "Coffeepot") was located further west in the same trust lot from 1854. Fourteen years later, a mission group from Trinity Methodist Church purchased the property. They hired Dixon and Carson, architects from Baltimore, to design a new church which was to fill the eastern two-thirds of the lot.

The Massie School, also referred to as the Massie Common School, opened in 1856 as the first public school in Savannah, Georgia, in the original chartered public school system in the American South. Located on Taylor Square, at 201–213 East Gordon Street, construction of the original schoolhouse began in 1855 with invested funds from Scottish immigrant Peter Massie, who intended his investment be used for the creation of a free school for Savannah's poor children. The Massie School, with the exception of a temporary utilization by Union troops as a hospital during the American Civil War, and then briefly being a Freedmen's school, remained in use until the school closed to traditional instruction in 1974. The Massie Heritage Center occupies the original schoolhouse footprint and serves as a museum. The Massie Heritage Center is the oldest continuously operating public school house in Georgia.

One of the 22 squares of Savannah, Georgia, United States, laid out in 1851 south of Lafayette Square, west of Whitefield Square, and east of Monterey Square, the location long named Calhoun Square has been unnamed since 2022. The oldest buildings on the square, the Adam Short Property and the Alexander Bennett House (both on East Taylor Street), date to 1853. Sometimes called Massie Square, the former Massie Common School House was built in 1855. The Wesley Monumental United Methodist Church, founded in 1868, is located on the western side of the square. The square had previously been used as a "negro burial ground"; in 1855, the bodies of enslaved residents Emily and Rinah were removed to Laurel Grove Cemetery. In 2004, a skull was found by utility workers outside the Massie Heritage Interpretation Center on the square's southeastern side. This legacy prompted a 2021 movement to rename the square after the Sankofa bird, a Ghanaian symbol expressing the "importance of knowing one's history." Susie King Taylor was considered another candidate for renaming in August 2021. City councilors voted unanimously on November 10, 2022 to remove Calhoun's name from the square; a new name is forthcoming.

The Armstrong Kessler Mansion (formerly known as Armstrong House) is a nationally significant example of Italian Renaissance Revival architectural style located in the Savannah Historic District. The structure was built between 1917 and 1919 for the home of Savannah magnate George Ferguson Armstrong (1868–1924). It was owned by the Armstrong family from 1919 to 1935. Afterward, the structure and grounds served as the campus of Armstrong Junior College. Threatened with demolition, the Historic Savannah Foundation purchased the Armstrong House along with five other threatened historic buildings from the college for $235,000 in 1967.

Jenkins Hall) at the exact purchase price to preservationist and antique dealer Jim Williams who restored it as his home. Eventually, both were sold to a major Savannah law firm as offices. The mansion was featured in The American Architect in 1919, and listed in A Field Guide to American Houses in 1984.
