The Gingerbread HouseThe "Savannah Gingerbread" was built in the Steamboat Gothic Style in 1899 by merchant, Cord Asendorf. Asendorf designed all of the gingerbread spindles and bric-a-brac himself to "outgingerbread" everyone else in town. His daughter lived in the house until it was sold in the early 1970's then she protested when the new owners altered the color scheme from a subtle white to multicolored. She insisted that the house had always been white, though there are turn of the century photographs which suggest otherwise.

Mercer HouseThe Mercer House was designed in 1860 by John Norris, a prominent architect from New York, who built many fine buildings in Savannah. Built for General Hugh Mercer, great-grandfather of songwriter Johnny Mercer, the mansion's construction began during the Civil War and was not completed until 1871. In 1967, the Historic Savannah Foundation bought the house to prevent it from being torn down. Later on, it was purchased by Jim Williams, a local antiques & art dealer, who transformed the house into a showplace once featured in Architectural Digest.

Forsythe Park InnForsythe Park Inn In 1874, Captain Churchill married a distant cousin, Lois Churchill. They moved to Savannah, where he established the headquarters for Churchill Steamship Lines. They acquired this house in the 1890s for their winter residence. Some of the architectural features of the house were symbolic of a sea captain's home during the early part of the 20th century. These details include the braided rope design around the exterior front door and the rope ship-rail balustrade of the veranda. After the passing of both of the Churchills in the 1920s, the house was sold and operated first as a boarding house and later converted to an apartment house. In 1984, a group of investors purchased the house and renovated it into the Forsyth Park Inn.

Laura A. Jones HouseThis 1892 Victorian boasts an eclectic blend of elements from the Queen Anne and Gothic Revival styles; a rarity for a relatively narrow city house. Besides the reverse-ogee, Candle Snuffer cap, the house also displays at least four different types of arches: lancet, Tudor, Rounded, and “arrow point.” Unfortunately, little is known about past ownership except for a few newspaper items and assessor’s records. After a conflagration destroyed several blocks in one of Savannah’s oldest residential districts, this house was within a flourish of rebuilding. Evidently finished promptly for Laura A. Jones, the following year the property was assessed at five thousand dollars.

Lighthouses

Tybee Island Lighthouse
Tybee Island Light, Georgia’s oldest and tallest lighthouse, still guides mariners into the mouth of the Savannah River. The first two lighthouses built on the island, 1736 and 1742, were constructed too close to the Atlantic Ocean. A third was authorized further inland and was completed in 1773. In 1867, a new brick and cast iron lighthouse was constructed. The lower 60 feet of the 1773 lighthouse was used as a foundation and an additional 94 feet was added to make this new structure 154 feet tall.

Middle Bay Lighthouse
Built in 1885, Middle Bay Lighthouse consists of a hexagonal-shaped cottage with a lantern perched on top. In the summer of 1916, the light-keepers wife gave birth. The keeper faced a challenging problem with his wife unable to nurse the hungry newborn. There was no refrigeration and supplies were inconsistent. His solution was simple, a milk cow was brought to the lighthouse and correlled on a section of the deck. Both cow and baby survived, but were later evacuated before a hurricane hit the coast. Today the light has been decommissioned, but stands as a day marker to all ships in the area.
