Title:
Historic and Beautiful Savannah, "Birthplace of Georgia"
Description:
Color postcard with white border and divided back, postally unused. The view is looking west down Broughton Street from the corner of Abercorn and Broughton Streets. The date appears to be early 1960s. Visible in the foreground is the First Federal Savings & Loan building. The tall building further down Broughton Street was the Liberty Bank and Trust, which was demolished in 1975. Caption from back of card: "Historic and Beautiful Savannah, 'Birthplace of Georgia' is situated on a deep Landlocked harbor at the head of ocean navigation on the Savannah River. More cotton is shipped from here than from any other Atlantic port, and it is the leading export city of the world for naval stores. In Christ Church, on the side of John Wesley's chapel, was held the first Protestant Sunday School in America. Wormsloe Gardens, on the south end of the Isle of Hope are the most beautiful in the South." This postcard was produced by the Curt Teich & Company.
