A prime example of Savannah Ga architect. I took this photo on my way to City Market. About once a week I will park on Jones Street and walk different routes to City Market, taking photos of what catches my eye

For some reason the thumbnail photo os this did not take, but it is the Pink House Reastaurant which is a great place to eat on Abercorn, close to Broughton Street.

You don't see windows like this anymore.

The craftmanship is simply amazing. The really amazing thing is that you see this type of architecture all over Savannah.

It pays to take your time looking at the old building and have a camera that can zoom up close -- you can miss it all by hurrying through and glancing. Savannah is not a town to hurry through.

Another shot of City Market from my table where when I wasn't taking pictures, I was reading a book I've been trying to finish about the history of libertarianism -- an interesting topic to me.

This is the contruction site where Ellis Square will be re-constructed and below is underground parking. The square will be filled with trees, bushes, flowers and benches like the other squares all throughout downtown Savannah.
