Why they chose this property

The Beach Institute Neighborhood, on the east side of Savannah's Historic District, was developed in the 1850s by investors for the Savannah-Albany Railroad seeking to create housing for their workers. Overall, it was an integrated neighborhood with a strong German presence and black ownership as early as the 1860s. The predominant building type was the double one-story cottage. These cottages are not found anywhere else in Historic Savannah. The streets are tight, and homes abut the sidewalk, creating a very urban, city neighborhood atmosphere.

In the 1980s, the King-Tisdell Cottage Foundation and the Historic Savannah Foundation aimed to resist the gentrification and displacement occurring throughout downtown Savannah because of the historic preservation movement. The effort was successful, and today is considered a model for conscious historic preservation planning throughout the nation. Because of these initiatives, the established Beach Institute Historic Neighborhood remains the oldest surviving African American neighborhood in Savannah.

What makes this property unique


Built in 1867 by George Bulloch and Cyrus Campfield, this unique 2 story, loft cottage has historic charm and a private courtyard and deck with a vintage spiral staircase to the upstairs balcony.
