Afisha Life | Екскурсія історичним районом Савани від The Wandering Historians

1

Історичний район Саванна

Ми досліджуємо найстаріші та найбільш архітектурно важливі райони першого міста Джорджії та першого запланованого міста Америки.

2

Площа Джонсона

На найбільшій площі міста, яку місцеві жителі часто називають Банковою площею, колонія була вперше організована в 1733 році та стала центральною для його культури та торгівлі, як і сьогодні. Тут розташована мерія, поховання 2-го командувача Вашингтона Натанаеля Ґріна, його сина Джорджа Вашингтона Ґріна, англіканської церкви та багато іншого.

3

Мерія міста Саванна

Збудоване в 1906 році місце колишньої міської біржі 1799 року є місцем, де сьогодні випливає міська влада з куполом із 22-каратного золота.

4

Площа Райта

Одна з найчарівніших міських площ Савани та одна з 4 оригінальних площ, закладених у період заснування Оглторпа. Спочатку тут було перше поховання, будівля суду, в’язниця та місце поховання індійського короля Томочічі. Небагато площ мають стільки історії.

5

Місце народження Джульєтт Гордон Лоу

Хоча це туристичний домашній бізнес, і ми в нього не входимо, ми проводимо в цьому місці якісний час. У цьому будинку 1820 року, побудованому вундеркіндом-архітектором Вільямом Джеєм, спочатку проживав суддя Верховного суду США, але він став центральним у великій родині Гордонів, доньки Джульєтт Лоу, яка, мабуть, найвідоміша завдяки своїм дівчатам-скаутам США. Однак ця сім’я — чудова американська історія про іммігрантів, які стали піонерами, які стали промисловцями та військовими, а також жіночий рівень історії з Джульєтт Лоу в суміші, динамічна сімейна історія втіленої американської мрії.

6

Незалежна пресвітеріанська церква

З його високим 119-футовим чавунним шпилем як найвищою точкою міста, це архітектурне диво 1819 року, побудоване Джоном Холденом Гріном, є одним із релігійних епіцентрів Савани, зокрема її шотландської спадщини. Вудро Вільсон одружився у дворі.

7

Площа Чіппева

Ще один міський шедевр із колоніальними та вікторіанськими будинками, церквами, заїжджими дворами, пабами, кав’ярнями, театром Саванна та пам’ятником засновнику Джорджії Оґлетторпу, створеним скульптором Меморіалу Лінкольна Деніелом Честером Френчем.

8

Медісон-сквер

З кожним квадратом це нове диво для очей, розуму та духу. Медісон-сквер із чудовим книжковим магазином, двома чайними та 2 найкращими зразками архітектури епохи готики та грецького відродження в Америці з іншими пам’ятками. Це площа, на якій ви заблукаєте, і ми вам допоможемо! Коледж мистецтва та дизайну Savannah College of Art & Design, найбільша приватна художня школа Америки, була заснована тут у 1976 році в рамках The Chatham Artillery.

9

Будинок-музей і екскурсії «Старий щавель Від».

Хоча це туристичний домашній бізнес, і ми в нього не входимо, ми проводимо в цьому місці якісний час. Шедевр раннього бавовняного буму, який часто називають найкращим прикладом архітектури грецького Відродження в Америці, цей туристичний дім став сучасним паранормальним явищем частково тому, що засновник нашої компанії, Шеннон Скотт, був продюсером епізоду Мисливця за привидами, який зробив це такий вдалий атракціон! Ми обговорюємо родини Соррел і Від, які були аграрними іменами рівня імперії вікторіанської доби.

10

E Shaver Bookseller

Цей класичний англійський книжковий продавець і чайхана є одним із найпопулярніших магазинів у всьому місті та пов’язаний із домом Елізи Джеветт, яка була однією з жінок імперії Савани.

11

Будинок Грін-Мелдрім

Хоча це туристичний домашній бізнес, і ми в нього не входимо, ми проводимо в цьому місці якісний час. Цей будинок у стилі неоготики 1853 року був побудований нью-йоркським архітектором Робертом Норрісом разом із газовим реактивним кондиціонером. Якийсь власник кредиту, Чарльз Грін, врятував Саванну від гніву Шермана, запропонувавши йому свій особистий будинок, щоб він служив його штабом протягом 8 тижнів, поки генерал Шерман окупував місто. Відвідав Harper's Weekly у грудні 1865 року, де вони проілюстрували Шермана та його генералів у стилі круглого столу, де Шерман відправив президенту Лінкольну наше прекрасне місто як різдвяний подарунок.

12

Чайна Грифон

Усередині цього масивного масонського храму Шотландського обряду в римському стилі, який зараз належить Коледжу мистецтв і дизайну Савани, є чайна кімната, яка має мало конкурентів щодо вікторіанської автентичності та смачних страв. Справжні жителі Савани пам’ятають його як аптеку Соломона, звідки походить більшість оригінального інтер’єру. Місце неперевершеної краси!

13

Площа Монтерей

Серед місцевих жителів і туристів площа Монтерей зазвичай займає приз як найгарніше, спокійне і європейське місто. Тут розташовані високі будинки в стилі Барбадос, де в 1779 році був похований найбільший герой Польщі, граф Казимир Пуласький, де Джефф Девіс переховувався під час громадянської війни, і де відомі імена збереження, як-от Лі та Емма Адлер, проживали до недавнього смерті. Жодна екскурсія не була б повною без «Будинку Мерсера», відомого «Опівночі в саду добра і зла». Також зупинка біля храму Мікве Ізраїль

14

Пам'ятник Пуласкі

Простіше кажучи, у Савані немає кращого пам’ятника, а для народу Польщі – більшого героя. Розроблено та встановлено латвійським скульптором Р.Е. Лауніц, а де виникли численні суперечки, коли виникли міжнародні дебати щодо того, чиї останки були під пам’ятником і чи насправді вони належали Пуласкі? Дебати шокують вас, як і панівна таємниця!

15

Конгрегація Мікве Ізраїль

Хоча тут є платний музей, ми не відвідуємо інтер’єр, а проводимо час на вулиці. Це шокує і вражає, коли ти кажеш людям, що є така стара єврейська громада, і це далеко на півдні. Саванна вважається третьою найстарішою в Америці, і, щоб зробити це надзвичайно цікавим, найбільш старовинна конгрегація з них відвідує храм всередині будівлі в християнському стилі. Храм Мікве зберігає найдавнішу Тору у світі, якій понад 1100 років, і ми ділимося з нашими гостями найнетрадиційнішою мудрістю про те, чому все це сталося, але набагато ближче до реальної історії, ніж просто до притчі!

16

Алекс Раскін Антикваріат

Понад 30 років відомий герой Савани, Алекс Раскін, продавав деякі з найдивовижніших антикваріатів міста з розкішного та високого особняка полковника Харді з його приголомшливими чавунними віконними перемичками та декоративним балконом, що обертається навколо, а також одним із небагатьох уцілілих великі куполи. Нещодавно проданий The Ralson College за понад 5 мільйонів доларів.

17

Будинок Армстронга

Цей нещодавно відреставрований особняк 1917 року з великою колонадою з лев’ячої лапи тепер є приватним будинком власника готелів, уродженця Савани, Річарда Кесслера, який заснував компанію The Day's Inn у 1980 році. Спочатку це був приватний будинок великого судноплавця Джорджа Армстронга, пізніше його вдови. подарувавши його школі. Він був проданий Джиму Вільямсу, який жив там до переїзду в будинок Мерсера. Також знявся у фільмі 1962 року «Мис страху» з Робертом Мітчумом і Грегорі Пеком у головних ролях.

18

Savannah Historic District

We explore the oldest, and most architecturally significant areas of Georgia's first city and America's first planned city.

19

Johnson Square

The city's largest square, often called Bank Square by locals, is where the colony was first organized in 1733 and became central to its culture and commerce as it still does today. Home to City Hall, the burials of Washington's 2nd in Command, Nathanael Greene, his son George Washington Greene, The Church of England and much more.

20

Savannah City Hall

Erected in 1906, the former site of the 1799 City Exchange is where city government flows from today with its 22-carat gold dome.

21

Wright Square

One of Savannah's most charming of city squares and one of the original 4 squares laid out during Oglethorpe's founding period. Originally home to the first burying ground, courthouse, jail and eventual burial site of the Indian King, Tomochichi. Few squares have as much history.

22

Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace Museum

While this is a touring home business and we do not enter it, we do spend quality time at this location. This 1820 home built by prodigy architect, William Jay, first housed a U.S. Supreme Court Judge, but would become central to the grand family of The Gordons, daughter Juliette Low, arguably the most famous for her Girl Scouts of The USA. This family however is a great American tale of immigrants who became pioneers who became industrialists and military and the women's history level with Juliette Low in the mix, a dynamic family story of The American Dream realized.

23

Independent Presbyterian Church

With its towering 119ft cast iron steeple as the highest point in the city, this 1819 architectural wonder built by John Holden Greene is one of the religious epicenters of Savannah, particularly its Scottish heritage. Woodrow Wilson married in the courtyard.

24

Chippewa Square

Yet another city masterpiece with both Colonial & Victorian rowhouses, churches, inns, pubs, coffeehouses Savannah Theater and monument of Georgia's Founder, Oglethorpe done by Lincoln Memorial sculptor, Daniel Chester French.

25

Madison Square

With every square, is a new wonder on the eyes, mind and spirit. Madison Square with its wonderful book seller, two tea houses and 2 of the finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture and Greek Revival in America with other monuments, its a square you'll get lost in and we'll help you! The Savannah College of Art & Design, America's largest private art school, was founded here in 1976 inside of The Chatham Artillery.

26

The Old Sorrel Weed House Museum & Tours

While this is a touring home business and we do not enter it, we do spend quality time at this location. An early Cotton Boom masterpiece and often called The Finest Example of Greek Revival Architecture in America, this touring home has become a modern paranormal phenomenon if because in part, our company's founder, Shannon Scott, was the producer on the Ghost Hunter's episode that made it such a successful attraction! We discuss The Sorrel & Weed families who were empire level agrarian names of The Victorian Age.

27

E Shaver Bookseller

This classic English appearing bookseller and teahouse is one of the most popular stores in the entire city and connected to The Eliza Jewett Home who was one of Savannah's empire women.

28

Green-Meldrim House

While this is a touring home business and we do not enter it, we do spend quality time at this location. This 1853 Gothic Revival Home was built complete with gas powered jet air conditioning by New York architect, Robert Norris. Some credit owner, Charles Green with saving Savannah from Sherman's wrath by offering him his personal house to serve as his resident headquarters for the 8 weeks that General Sherman occupied the city.Visited by Harper's Weekly in December of 1865 where they illustrated Sherman and his Generals' roundtable style, where Sherman sent President Lincoln our fair city as a Christmas gift.

29

Gryphon Tea Room

Inside this massive Roman-styled Scottish Rite Masonic Temple, now owned by The Savannah College of Art & Design, is a tea room that has shared few rivals as far as Victorian authenticity and delicious fare. True Savannahians remember it as Solomon's Drugstore where most of the original interior is derived. Place of sheer beauty!

30

Monterey Square

Among locals, and tourists, Monterey Square usually takes the prize as the city's most beautiful, serene and European. Home to towering rowhouses, some Barbados style, this is where Poland's greatest hero, Count Casimir Pulaski was laid to rest in 1779, where Jeff Davis hid out during The Civil War, and where famous preservation names like Lee & Emma Adler resided until their recent deaths. No tour would be complete without The Mercer House famed to Midnight In The Garden of Good & Evil. Also stopping by The Temple Mickve Israel

31

Pulaski Monument

To put it simply, there is no finer monument in Savannah, and to the people of Poland, no greater hero. Designed and installed by the Latvian sculptor, R.E. Launitz, and where much controversy occurred when an international debate arose as to who's remains were under the monument and were they actually Pulaski's? The debate will shock you as will the prevailing mystery!

32

Congregation Mickve Israel

While there is a paid-to museum here, we do not patron interior but spend quality time at the location outside. It shocks and amazes when you tell people that there's a Jewish community this old, and this far South. Savannah claims America's 3rd oldest and to make it extra interesting, the most antique congregation of them attends Temple inside of a Christian styled building. The Temple Mickve holds the oldest Torah in the world at over 1100 years of age and we share with our guests, the most unconventional wisdom about why this all occurred but far closer to the real story than simply the parable!

33

Alex Raskin Antiques

For over 30 years, notable Savannah character, Alex Raskin, sold some of the city's most amazing antiques out of the opulent and towering Colonel Hardee Mansion with its stunning cast iron window lintels and wrap-around, decorative balcony along with one of the few surviving grand cupolas. Sold recently to The Ralson College for over 5 million dollars.

34

Armstrong House

This recently restored 1917 mansion, complete with sweeping lion's paw colonnade, is now the private home of hotelier, native Savannahian, Richard Kessler, who founded The Day's Inn company in 1980. Originally the private home of shipping great, George Armstrong, his widow later donating it to the school. It was sold to Jim Williams who lived there prior to moving into The Mercer House. Also featured in the 1962 film, Cape Fear starring Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck.
