Savannah's Victorian District is rife with gorgeous gingerbread for all who love Victorian architecture. This 50-block, 162 acre neighborhood is situated just south of the historic district, between Martin Luther King Boulevard and East Broad Street. Also listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this area represented the first suburb of Savannah as the city spread out in the late 1800s. Largely residential, the neighborhood features examples of many architectural styles, with an unsurprising abundance of Victorian structures. Extending generally from Victory Drive north to the river, the Victorian District is known for its Victorian-style homes. These homes are interspersed throughout the region, and also vary greatly in price, according to condition and location. The Gingerbread House, on 36th and Bull, is a great example of the style of architecture in this area.
What wonderful photos - I have always liked "Victorian" architecture. I was in Savannah in June (2007) but didn't get a chance to visit this part of the city in detail - just a glimpse from one of the tours I took . I took over 400 photographs, which I believe doesn't even scratch the surface of the city. Savannah has so many sites to see . . . I guess that means I NEED to go back (and soon)! Until then, I have bookmarked your gallery so I can come back to see these lovely homes again! Thank you for sharing these with us!
hELLO! Absolutely beautiful houses, you captured them wonderfully, I feel inspired to get over to San Diego's Victorian District. Thnaks for sharing the beauty of these houses.

I really enjoyed your web pages regarding the Victorian Houses. I live in Portland, Oregon and in the city of Molalla, Oregon there is this awesome Victorian Home. If you are ever in Oregon please take some of our Victorian Homes.
Beautiful houses. I love old houses, think they have a charm of their own. :-)
Thanks for the visit and the kind comment by the way.
Anyway,great photogallery. You´re right, Savannah really is beautiful atleast if you judge by the photos.
