Factor's Walk and River Street

Landmark

The historic warehouse district along the Savannah River bluff preserves the commercial infrastructure of colonial Savannah. Factor's Walk — the elevated walkway connecting the bluff warehouses — dates from the colonial period and was part of the commercial landscape Patriot and Loyalist merchants competed over during the Revolutionary War. The area gives a sense of Savannah's economic geography as a river port.
