Elegant Mansions Reflect a Variety of Styles
The National Trust Guide to Savannah Architectural and Cultural Treasures by Roulehac Tolenado provides an easy to use reference to Savannah's historic architecture. Published by John Wiley and Sons, Inc. in cooperation with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, this relativly compact volume, 234 pages, is highly recommended to anyone interested in Savannah's architectural and cultural heritage.
The Hardee house at left, features high-relief decorative cast iron lintels over lowered arch windows - a fine example of the Itallianate style.
Second Empire style came late to Savannah but when it arrived the results were splendid. This residence at the corner of Liberty and Bull Streets and the Hamilton Turner house on nearby Lafayette Square provide wonderful examples of Second Empire oppulence. Also in the neighborhood is the Sorrel-Weed House (at right), a sophisticated Greek revival mansion with a parapet shallowly arched in the Regency manner.
