Lower Stoddard Range
Lower Stoddard Range

Lower Stoddard Range is a historic range of buildings in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Located in Savannah's Historic District, the addresses of some of the properties are East Bay Street, above Factors Walk, while others solely utilize the former King Cotton warehouses on River Street. As of February 2022, the businesses occupying the ground floor of the River Street elevation are: Boar's Head Grill & Tavern, Savannah's Candy Kitchen, Gallery 209 and Christmas on the River. The building stands adjacent to Archibald Smith Stores, the two separated only by steps leading to and from River Street and Factors Walk. The building was constructed by 1858 by John Stoddard (1809–1879), on foundations that were previously the three lower tiers of the early-19th-century Harden (western portion of the range) and Howard Stores (eastern portion). Harden's property was known colloquially as Coffee House Wharf.Factors Edgar L. Guerard and Edward L. Holcombe (1840–1875), formerly a major for the Confederates in the Civil War, were operating their general commission and shipping merchants enterprise from "5 Stoddard's Lower Range, Bay Street" in 1869. At number 7, meanwhile, Grantham Israel Taggart (1828–1905) was providing a similar service, under the name Taggart & Company, in addition to offering anthracite and bituminous coal.In 1898, during the Spanish–American War, the signal corps had their command headquarters in the range.The buildings that comprise Upper Stoddard Range are at 12–42 East Bay Street, to the west of the lower range.

Thomas Gamble Building

The Thomas Gamble Building, formerly known as the Eugene Kelly Stores, Kelly's Block and Kelly's Building, is a historic building in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Located in Savannah's Historic District, between Upper Stoddard Range to the east, Savannah City Hall to the south and the Hyatt Regency Savannah to the west, the addresses of some of the properties are East Bay Street, above Factors Walk, while Olympia Cafe occupies the former King Cotton warehouses on the River Street elevation. The building was constructed in 1877, by W. G. Butler, replacing the 1869 Eugene Kelly Stores, designed by Muller & Bruyn but which burned in 1876. Shortly after the fire, Kelly, a millionaire from New York, stated that he intended to rebuild, naming it "Kelly's Stores 2". To match the Bay Street frontage, the River Street façade was given a stucco finish in 1883, under the supervision of Bernard Goode.Several prominent Savannah companies were located in Kelly's Block for many years, including the John Flannery Co., which moved into the building upon its rebuilding was completed in 1877. Purse Printing & Paper Co. occupied space in the property for over sixty years.After the death of Kelly in 1894, his family maintained the property until 1907, at which point it was sold to New York's Temple Court Company, owned by Eugene's son, Thomas Hughes Kelly.The Temple Court Company sold the rear half of Wharf Lot 9, which contained the structure of Kelly's Block. Thomas rented another part of the building to the City of Savannah, before selling the entire building to the city in June 1943.The building was renamed in 1945 for Thomas Gamble, Savannah's mayor between 1933 and 1937 and 1938 until his death in 1945.

Reynolds Square (Savannah, Georgia)
Reynolds Square (Savannah, Georgia)

Reynolds Square is one of the 22 squares of Savannah, Georgia, United States. It is located in the northernmost row of the city's five rows of squares, on Abercorn Street and East St. Julian Street. It is east of Johnson Square, west of Warren Square and north of Oglethorpe Square. The oldest building on the square is The Olde Pink House (originally Habersham House), which dates to 1771.Originally called Lower New Square (due to its being the first one laid out, in 1734, after the original four), it was later renamed for Captain John Reynolds, governor of Georgia in the mid-1750s. Reynolds was, in fact, an unpopular governor, and it is said that the celebration held upon his arrival in the colony was rivaled only by that held upon his departure.The square contains a bronze statue, by Marshall Daugherty, honoring John Wesley, founder of Methodism. Wesley spent most of his life in England but undertook a mission to Savannah (1735–1738), during which time he founded the first Sunday school in America. The statue was installed in 1969 on the spot where Wesley's home is believed to have stood. The statue is intended to show Wesley preaching out-of-doors as he did when leading services for Native Americans, a practice which angered church elders who believed that the Gospel should only be preached inside the church building. Scultpor Marshall said: "The moment is as he looks up from his Bible toward his congregation, about to speak and stretching out his right hand in love, invitation, and exhortation. In contrast, the hand holding the Bible is intense and powerful – the point of contact with the Almighty."Reynolds Square was the site of the Filature, which housed silkworms as part of an early—and unsuccessful—attempt to establish a silk industry in the Georgia colony.
