StevePottsThis peaceful square was once the Trustee's garden, as it was on the perimeter of the original development. Also nearby is the historic Pirates House, which was built in 1753 as an inn for seafarers, pirates and sailors. And Fire Station #9 was established in the area (plaque). The park now serves a quiet existence among many fine residences represented in my pictures.

Davis D. JanowskiThe first square I visited upon reaching Savannah's historic district---only after returning home to NYC and doing some reading---did I find that it is the only square without a major monument or fountain at its center. It also happens to be the northeastern most square and is just a block away from the original easternmost boundary of the city as it was laid out. I did get a chuckle reading a fellow guide's review, who noted that it is mostly used by local residents, neighbors of the park, who get together and drink wine and walk their dogs: something I witnessed the evening I walked through. They seemed completely uninterested in engaging tourists ;-). It is green and lovely nonetheless. I'll add that having strolled through the square and standing on the SW corner of the park looking west on Congress Street the gas lighting of some nearby homes caught my eye. Walking past those I had a look at the tiny, attractive, historically significant Freeman's Cottage built in 1820 as well.

Sandra WilliamsI really felt like I was going to walk up on Forrest Gump in that square. I was so relaxed and serene. I could have sat there all day.

Retain ThatThis park is used by the nearby residents mostly for dog walking! A few occasionally meet in the evenings for wine and chitchat.
