Historic Savannah

The historic district of Savannah, one of the largest in America, is awash with restored antebellum and postbellum homes. This is a classic example, fronting Lafayette Square on the West side.

Impressive in workmanship and size, the park-side mansion was built in 1873 for Samuel Pugh Hamilton and his family. Mr. Hamilton was a successful businessman and prominent Savannah citizen and alderman. He and his wife, Sarah V. Hamilton, created a social center for Savannah’s elite, hosting a variety of society activities in their home.

After a number of different owners, it has finally been restored to its original grandeur. It is now an inn.

I broke in my new Nikon D7000 today. This was one of the first pictures taken with it. Your comments and critiques are welcome, of course.
