Chippewa Square

-A A +A
1815

The dimensions of Chippewa Square are the same as those of Johnson Square—one hundred and twenty feet wider than the other central squares—which results in smaller trust lots. Prior to the addition of the Oglethorpe Monument, a fountain (erected 1871) occupied the center of the square, flanked to the north and south by portrait bust monuments commemorating Savannah’s Civil War heroes, Major General Lafayette McLaws and Brigadier General [Colonel] Francis S. Bartow (1901–1902, G. J. Zolnay, sculptor), which were relocated to Forsyth Park (10.1) in 1909 when the fountain moved to Thomas Square.
