Gordon Row

Gordon Row is a terrace of fifteen connected dwellings along West Gordon Street, featuring Romanesque revival design with carved stone details across three levels. The buildings stretch between Barnard Street and Whitaker Street and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Construction took place from 1853 to 1855 to meet housing needs during Savannah's growing market expansion. The entire complex was built from the start as rental housing for multiple residents.

The row reflects how families lived together in shared urban homes during the 1800s, shaping the character of Savannah's historic neighborhoods. Walking past reveals how residents organized their daily lives across these tightly connected spaces.

The terrace sits directly facing Chatham Square in the historic district and is easily reached on foot. Keep in mind that the buildings remain private residences, so viewing and photographing from the outside is the best approach.

This is the largest continuous row house development in Savannah, running from numbers 101 through 129 with sequential addresses. The unbroken numbering makes it easy to see that all the buildings were part of a single construction effort.
