Buildings in Savannah Historic District (Savannah, Georgia)

The Savannah Historic District is a large urban U.S. historic district that roughly corresponds to the city limits of Savannah, Georgia, prior to the American Civil War. The area was declared a National Historic Landmark District in 1966,[1] and is one of the largest districts of its kind in the United States.[2] The district was made in recognition of the unique layout of the city, begun by James Oglethorpe at the city's founding and propagated for over a century of its growth.[1]
