After a late lunch, we decided to walk back to our cars through the Historic District. We first passed through Johnson Square.

I was able to get a few shots of the Nathanael Greene Monument. Not being on a moving trolley proved to be beneficial for picture taking.

The monument honors Revolutionary War soldier Brigadier General Nathanael Greene.

All of the fountains in the Historic District have been dyed green for St. Patrick's Day.

Tim & Julie.

Thanks to Tim & Julie for meeting me in Savannah.

I haven't seen them in a few years.

This was a great way to catch up.

Not being on a moving trolley also allowed me to get a few good pics of the beautiful landscaping and blooming flowers.

We continued walking south through Wright Square.

This is the monument for William W. Gordon, president of Georgia's first railroad, and a former Mayor of Savannah.

The Gordon Monument sits in the center of the square. Originally, the grave of Yamacraw Chief Tomo-Chi-Chi, (considered to be Georgia's co-founder), occupied the space. The decision was made to remove Tomo-Chi-Chi's grave and replace it with a monument to Gordon.

Tomo-Chi-Chi's is considered to be the co-founder of Georgia along with General James Oglethorpe. Tomo-Chi-Chi gave Oglethorpe the land on which to build the City of Savannah.

Tomo-Chi-Chi's grave was relocated to a corner of the square, and a simple stone monument was erected in his honor.

Enjoying a nap under a giant oak tree sounds like a good way to spend the afternoon.

We continued walking south and came upon the Scottish Highlanders Marker along Oglethorpe Avenue. The monument was erected in 1987 by the Savannah Chapter of the St. Andrews Society to honor their Scottish forebears.

Looking west along Oglethorpe Avenue.

This is the Historic Independent Presbyterian Church.

The Independent Presbyterian Church can trace its roots back to 1755.

The present church is actually a duplicate of the previous structure that was destroyed by fire in 1889.

The church was featured in the opening of the movie "Forrest Gump."

We continued south and happened upon Chippewa Square.

Chippewa Square.

The centerpiece of Chippewa Square is a statue of General James Oglethorpe.

The Oglethorpe Monument was dedicated in 1910 and honors General James Oglethorpe who established the Colony of Georgia in 1733.

Our trolley driver told an interesting story regarding Oglethorpe's image. The story goes that the sculptor didn't have a picture of Oglethorpe, and created the statue in the image of Captain Morgan.

The Oglethorpe Monument faces south following military tradition which states that the person in the monument always faces his enemy. In this case, Oglethorpe's enemy was Spanish Florida.

We made a right turn heading west on West Perry Street and passed by the Dr. James Johnson Waring House from 1831.

Dr. Waring didn't want to be quite so open about his wealth as some of his neighbors. Rather than install elaborate iron fencing, Waring opted for cast iron dolphin downspouts.

Cast iron fencing was a common decoration back in the day. This example was seen along West Perry Street.

This is the Philbrick-Eastman House from 1847. This house is known for its elaborate iron fencing.

The home now serves as the headquarters of the Parker convenience store chain.
