Savannah High School, 1935
Savannah High School traces its origins to Chatham Academy, a school chartered in 1788. During the Great Depression, this campus was built by the Public Works Administration around the foundation of a hotel whose developers went bankrupt. It was said to be the largest public school building in the United States at the time.
The school was integrated relatively early, in 1963, by twelve African-American students. In 1997, Savannah High relocated and this campus became the Savannah Arts Academy.

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.
