Description:From the back cover:Savannah and the Lowcountry offers historians a wealth of material reflecting regional traditions and international influences, local economies and nationwide industrialization. The design of side-hall row houses constructed by the city’s leading nineteenth-century entrepreneurs responded to both the national popularity of the Greek Revival and local lot constraints determined by Oglethorpe’s original 1733 plan. Conversely, Creole house forms on South Carolina’s barrier islands represent regional building traditions transplanted in part through French Caribbean settlement in the early seventeenth century. Inland, the arrival of eighteenth-century German immigrants is expressed in extant Salzburger settlements, while tobacco barns and sorghum mills recall the region’s agricultural production in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. South along the Georgia coast, shrimp docks and oyster houses testify to once flourishing economies based on shrimping and oystering. In the city of Savannah, and the greater Savannah area, African Americans, Jews, Irish, and other ethnic minorities each contributed significant sites that speak to a range of classes. It is through the investigation and interpretation of all these structures, and their social and cultural setting, that their value in the context of regional vernacular traditions can begin to be recognized.Illustrations and maps.
