1888. 302–304 E. Huntingdon St.

Italianate houses abound in Savannah’s Victorian district. This imposing symmetrical stuccoed-brick double house showcases the style’s characteristic pronounced bracketed eaves, tall windows with segmental-arched lintels, and projecting polygonal bays at the corners. The developers, the McMillan Brothers, indulged in the Victorian love of eclectic blending, however, by having the bays turn the corner to evoke turrets crowned with tall metal-clad domes more typical of the earlier Second Empire style. In 2001–2004, the rear of number 304 was altered with a two-story addition and porch.
