John Stoddard’s Lower Range Warehouses

-A A +A
1858–1859. 208–230 E. Bay St.

Complementing his Upper Range warehouses (1.3) upstream, Stoddard erected this lower (downstream) row. It likewise vividly reflects the dual nature of Savannah’s warehouses, with the high-style facade of fine red brick and handsome arches facing the city to the south decorating the building only above the level of Bay Street, while in plain view the stories below have starkly utilitarian walls of ballast stone and rough brick. The central pedimented section is slightly recessed, disguising the subtle bend of the south elevation that responds to the curving river bank.
