Thomas Gamble Building
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.

Savannah ( sə-VAN-ə) is the oldest city in the U.S. state of Georgia and is the county seat of Chatham County. Established in 1733 on the Savannah River, the city of Savannah became the British colonial capital of the Province of Georgia and later the first state capital of Georgia. A strategic port city in the American Revolution and during the American Civil War, Savannah is today an industrial center and an important Atlantic seaport. It is Georgia's fifth-largest city, with a 2020 U.S. Census population of 147,780. The Savannah metropolitan area, Georgia's third-largest, had a 2020 population of 404,798.Each year, Savannah attracts millions of visitors to its cobblestone streets, parks, and notable historic buildings. These buildings include the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low (founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA), the Georgia Historical Society (the oldest continually operating historical society in the South), the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences (one of the South's first public museums), the First African Baptist Church (one of the oldest African-American Baptist congregations in the United States), Temple Mickve Israel (the third-oldest synagogue in the U.S.), and the Central of Georgia Railway roundhouse complex (the oldest standing antebellum rail facility in the U.S. and now a museum and visitor center).Savannah's downtown area, which includes the Savannah Historic District, its 22 parklike squares, and the Savannah Victorian Historic District, is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the United States (designated by the federal government in 1966). Downtown Savannah largely retains the founder James Oglethorpe's original town plan, a design now known as the Oglethorpe Plan. During the 1996 Summer Olympics hosted by Atlanta, Savannah held sailing competitions in the nearby Wassaw Sound.
