Thomas Square District in Savannah

 

Designated a National Register Historic District in 1997, the Thomas Square Streetcar Historic District contains a collection of historic, intact residential, commercial, and community buildings associated with the Thomas Square Neighborhood. Developed in the late nineteenth century, Thomas Square is bounded by Anderson Lane on the north, East Broad Street, roughly Victory Drive on the south, and Montgomery Street on the west. The city electrified the streetcar in 1888 and extended the A and B Belt line south along Whitaker Street into this district, creating a streetcar suburb. The streetcar lines were removed in 1920 due to the increased use of the automobile.

 

In this district one finds significant examples of Queen Anne, Folk Victorian, Italianate, Neoclassical Revival, Colonial Revival, Greek Revival, and Craftsman style residential architecture.

Home prices vary greatly from the mid 100s to over 800,000 depending on size and renovations.

For a list of available homes currently listed for sale in the Thomas Square District or any other areas just give me a call or send me an email.

Some other Historic areas of Savannah which may be of interest are: Baldwin Park, Ardsley Park and Gordonston.
