Ferguson-Bryant House, 1873, Savannah

I haven’t been able to track down much about this house but Cynthia Jennings found two names associated with it through census and newspaper records; the Fergusons and the Bryants were owners at some time and it also served as a boarding house at various times.

2011 Bull Street, Savannah

2011 Bull Street is a great example of urban renewal. Its origins an be traced to the structure on the lower floor, a mid-century gas station and garage. A few years ago, two floors were added to the otherwise pedestrian structure and from it emerged a new interpretation of Streamline Moderne, a hybrid Art Deco style which is quite rare today. Thanks to John Deaderick for assistance in identification.
