First Baptist Church of Savannah, on Chippewa Square in the Historic District. Built in 1833, this is the oldest standing church building in Savannah. Its pastor, William B. Johnson, became the first president of the Southern Baptist Convention in 1845. During the Civil War, pastor Sylvanus Landrum preached to members of the Confederacy one Sunday and preached the next week to a congregation largely made up of Union soldiers. Picture taken March 2000.
People often have to stand in line for an hour to eat lunch at Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House in the Historic District. You will sit at a big table with ten people. After you eat, you have to take your dishes to the kitchen. But believe me, the Southern cooking is worth it! March 2000.
The Sorrell-Weed House, on Madison Square in the Historic District. The house is painted the orange color it originally had in the early 1800's. Photo from the Savannah Morning News.
Fountain in Forsyth Park in the Historic District. March 2000.
Bob in front of the grave and monument of "Gracie" in Bonaventure Cemetery. Gracie died when she was six years old, and legend has it that her ghost still haunts the area around her tomb. Tour guides claim that if you leave a toy or food for Gracie, the next day her ghost will have taken it. The azaleas and dogwood are abundant in this cemetery in the spring. March 2000.
"The Globe" on near the intersection of DeRenne and Abercorn. Formerly a gas storage tank that was painted to look like a globe, it was repainted in 1999 to look like the earth from outer space. Notice Hurricane Floyd that threatened Savannah in the fall of 1999 is painted out in the Atlantic Ocean. The Globe is about 30 feet high and is the largest globe in the United States. March 2000.
