Howard Street - Savannah 2025

Recently we found ourselves walking along Howard Street. We've wandered the Savannah Historic District - North and South - for many years now, but this street seemed unfamiliar. There are other streets that parallel Howard, so it's possible we never went this way. In any event, it felt very fresh and new.

I was quite captured by the expanse of windows in this lovely Victorian. Our elegant lady holds a bit mystery with her Ouija-board teacup.

The actual colors of 'Blue House'  and its shutters are almost as vivid as they are in this collage. Many of the Victorian-era homes sport these 'San Francisco' color schemes. In my collage world, pie is always welcome.

This is actually the front of the windows house. I was attracted by the architecture, but discovered there is history with this building.  It is the Bynes-Royall Funeral Home.  It is the oldest African-American owned business in Savannah as the first funeral home for African-Americans, established in 1878 by William R. Royall. In 1955, the business was purchased by Frank Bynes and his family continues to run it. I included the name on the portico awning and and a hint of a 1959 Cadillac hearse as a nod to its history.

Our Savannah stay is coming to a close, but I have a couple more images I'm working with, so we'll see what's next.

Till next time.
