Savannah Victorian Historic District

The Victorian Historic District spans 45 blocks with residential structures featuring towers, turrets, wooden frames, bay windows, and ornate exterior decorations.

After the Civil War in 1869, the district emerged when developers constructed wooden houses along new streetcar routes at the southern edges of Savannah.

The neighborhood displays a grid pattern layout instead of Oglethorpe's traditional square design, incorporating green planting areas between sidewalks and streets.

The district boundaries extend from Gwinnett Street in the north to Anderson Lane in the south, between East Broad Street and Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard.

Frame construction techniques were permitted in this area, unlike downtown Savannah where fire regulations prohibited wooden buildings during the nineteenth century.
