Warren Square


Warren Square was designed in 1791 between Bryan and Congress Streets on Habersham Street in Savannah, Georgia. It was named after General Joseph Warren. He was killed in 1775 at the battle of Bunker Hill. There is a city parking garage that is part of Trust Lots near the square.

The Spencer House which was also built in 1791 is on the west side of the square. It has been restored as part of a 1980s restoration project. A private philanthropist refurbished the double house on the northwest corner in 1993 too.

This area of Savannah is known for its historic district and older homes of Georgia. Between this square and Washington Square on St. Julian Street are where these oldest homes of the city can be found. The square is fairly small with many homes lining the streets. Old trees like Cypress are spread throughout the square and run along the streets. Native plants and some flowers have been landscaped into the square to make it more appealing.

The square can be a quiet place to sit and rest while taking a tour of the historic district and some of the oldest homes in the city.
