Row housing is a type of housing where the homes are in a line, one after the other. This style originated in England and gaining in popularity in the United States over the past few years. Savannah is home to some beautiful row houses that you won’t want to miss!
Gordon Row
Gordon Row (also known as Gordon Block) is the largest single row house in Savannah,. It comprises fifteen homes (or “units”) located between 101 and 129 West Gordon Street in the southeastern residential block of Chatham Square. Completed in 1854, the row occupies the entire block between Barnard Street on the west and Whitaker Street on the east. It sits directly opposite Chatham Square to Quantock Row on Taylor Street.
Built between 1853 and 1855, the properties’ prospective use as renter-occupied houses made them popular in the city’s blossoming market. After falling into disrepair, the Historic Savannah Foundation renovated Gordon Row in the mid-20th century.
Scudder’s Row
Scudder’s Row comprises the five homes from 1 to 9 East Gordon Street, in the southeastern residential block of Monterey Square. Completed in 1853, the property is part of the Savannah Historic District and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Brothers John and Ephraim Scudder built the properties between 1852 and 1853. John Scudder also built several of the homes on Savannah’s Jones Street, which has been described as one of the most charming streets in America.
William Remshart Row House
Four properties between 102 and 111 West Jones Street make up the William Remshart Row House. Completed in 1853 and built for prominent Savannah commission merchantWilliam Remshart (1804–1878), it is a contributing property of the Savannah Historic District and on the National Register of Historic Places.
In the mid-19th century, the Historic American Buildings Survey documented the property’s significance for its representation of mid-19th-century Savannah row houses, particularly due to its high stoops.
Quantock Row (Chatham Square)
Quantock Row comprises the six homes from 114 to 124 West Taylor Street, in the northeastern residential block of Chatham Square. It is a contributing property of the Savannah Historic District, itself on the National Register of Historic Places. The row partly fills the block between Barnard Street to the west and Whitaker Street to the east and sits directly opposite Gordon Row. The properties were completed in 1852 and built for Allen William Quantock.
Quantock Row (Jones Street)
Completed in 1854, Quantock Row has five units from 17 to 31 East Jones Street. It is a contributing property of the Savannah Historic District, itself on the National Register of Historic Places. The row partly fills the block between Bull Street to the west and Drayton Street to the east. Allen William Quantock by John Scudder commissioned the building of the properties. Henry Meinhard bought Quantock Row in 1862 and later sold it to Gerard and Sarah Treanor.
Kennedy And McDonough Rows
To the east of Troup Square, on Macon and Charlton Streets, are two blocks of historic row houses. Both were restored in the later half of the 1900s. Kennedy Row, on East Macon Street, was built in 1872. Constructed a decade later 1882, McDonough Row sits immediately south of Kennedy Row on Charlton Street.
Rainbow Row
Rainbow Row is a collection of charming Carpenter Italianate-style row homes. Each unit features Victorian era details and has its own color scheme that embodies the feel of Savannah and its architecture. These distinctive properties are within easy walking distance to some truly historic sites including The Old Pink House.
