Historic Savannah Foundation (HSF) is a preservation organization founded in 1955 and based in Savannah, Georgia, United States.[3]
In 1950, the four-story Wetter House on East Oglethorpe was demolished.[4][5] This, combined with the razing of Savannah's popular City Market in Ellis Square, to be replaced by a parking garage, prompted a public outcry.[6] The following year, a funeral home was set to purchase the Isaiah Davenport House in Columbia Square and tear it down for a parking lot.[5] This sparked a movement to start a preservation process in the city.[5]
"What began as an effort to save one house quickly turned into an organized movement that went on to save an entire city." – Historic Savannah Foundation[5]
Local journalist, artist and activist Anna Colquitt Hunter (1892–1985)[7] formed a group with six of her friends to block the demolition of the house and formed the Historic Savannah Foundation.[8] The group managed to raise the $22,500 needed to purchase the property themselves.[5]
The office of the foundation is in the southwest tything of the Columbia Square, at the Abraham Sheftall House, 321 East York Street.[1] It had formerly been at the Isaiah Davenport House at 324 East State Street.[9]
The Foundation bestows its highest honor, the Davenport Award, on select individuals.[10]
In 1977, the foundation published Historic Savannah: A Survey of Significant Buildings in the Historic and Victorian Districts of Savannah, Georgia.
