1890, Alfred S. Eichberg; 1909–1913 remodeled. 136–140 Bull St.
Commissioned by Savannah mayor Schwarz, this handsome commercial building helped push the city’s commercial district southward. Eichberg made use of various design strategies typical of later nineteenth-century commercial buildings to both break up and unify the large building mass, such as having different window shapes on each floor that were nonetheless tied together by sets of piers. The subtly projecting rounded turretlike corner, originally capped by a tall dome, acknowledges the importance of the corner site fronting both Bull Street and Wright Square. The building’s ornate cornice and dome were removed before 1955.
