We’re mostly in South Carolina visiting friends in Edisto Beach, but we’re taking some time to explore a bit on our own as well. We’ve returned for a couple of days to Savannah, Georgia.

This is mostly a “work-cation,” but I did get the chance to capture some photos while walking to and from various coffee shops in the historic district.

A large two-story white Southern rowhouse with black louvered shutters, wrought-iron balconies, and porches lined with columns, fronted by twin sets of steps and an American flag, set along a tree-shaded street corner in Savannah, Georgia. Live oaks and palm trees line the sidewalk, with a stop sign and empty roadway in the foreground under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds.

A Halloween-decorated Victorian home with a white ornate porch, where a skeleton wearing a gold tie sits perched on the railing amid stretched fake cobwebs, a black feather wreath, plastic spiders, and a “Enter If You Dare” sign. The red brick house has arched windows and a “Private Residence” sign near the front walk lined with tombstone-style decorations and palm foliage.

An old stucco building in Savannah with a weathered facade and exposed brick, featuring an ornate cast-iron balcony with a Greek key pattern draped in green vines, above a tree-shaded brick sidewalk that stretches into the distance.

A gray-painted staircase with pale yellow balustrades leads up to the black front door of a red-brick townhouse numbered 609, framed by black shutters and flanked by trimmed hedges. A skeleton of a dog is posed on the top steps beside a lantern as a Halloween decoration.

We are staying at the adorable Printmaker’s Inn. There’s a fascinating bit of history to the building shown below (which is not the house in which we stayed): It’s the oldest building in Savannah – older by about 40 years than the city itself! Huh? Oh. Right. The house was originally built in Connecticut. In an incredible act of preservation and logistics, the house was dismantled, moved to Savannah, and lovingly reassembled, and is now the core of the Hills house at the Printmaker’s Inn. If you’re ever in Savannah and enjoy B&Bs situated in historic houses, we recommend this one!

A two-story cream-colored clapboard house with a red front door reached by two curving brick staircases with black iron railings, framed by a large oak tree and flanked by neighboring houses. An early American flag with a red-and-white striped field hangs from the second story, and the front is lined by a low brick wall, low shrubs, and a brick sidewalk scattered with autumn leaves.

Lisa spent some time in the afternoon on a fossil-hunting tour. While there, she learned about the restoration of the Savannah Riverside Power Plant, which now serves as the core of a Marriott hotel on the river front. They’ve done a fun job of integrating old power plant fixtures, fossils, and backlit mineral slices in their lobby.
