Savannah... Ironwork

As you walk around Savannah, you begin to notice the large amount of beautiful wrought iron and other iron work in house after house and street after street. Above is the entrance door to the Armstrong house.

Looking into a passageway through the wrought iron gate.

Wrought iron fences surround many gardens.

Wrought iron grills cover windows.

This grill is on a window at the Mercer Williams house.

Even the balconies have wrought iron grills.

Elaborate grills surround medium sized gardens.

Through this grill you can see the famous fountain in Forsyth Park (across the street from our B&B).

Grills around the front lawn.

Wrought iron grills up the main entrance staircase.

Wrought iron grills around the second floor balcony. (By the way, there are no doors to this balcony. All entrances to the balcony are through windows! Guess what the basis of taxation was - the number of doors, of course.)

Grilled walkways just above the river walk.

Even grilled walkways to the restaurants along the river! [After lunch at Vics. We look as if we ate well.]

This building was built from rocks and bricks in the ballast stones that the ships dumped when they came to Savannah (as is the river walkway). This view is through the wrought iron grill on the street above.

And not all iron work is wrought iron. Although this eavestrough downspout is supposed to be a dolphin, we all agreed that it looks like a carp.
