The two trust lots east of Troup Square are each occupied by eight row houses oriented to the south. The four units on the western half of Kennedy Row, built in 1855 for Edward Kennedy, established the form for the rest of this row, which was completed by McDonough with similar units to the east. The westernmost house sports an iron balcony and has a central entrance facing the square. Kennedy Row is unusual in its use of ground-level entrances and its lack of carriage houses, attributes that seem to attest to a humbler social standing in its peripheral location relative to the city’s social focus along Bull Street. McDonough later built the more southern row facing Charlton Street, instead of the conventional orientation toward the wider central street of the ward, E. Macon Street, thereby also facing away from Kennedy Row. Reflecting the air of prosperity and confidence of the 1880s, the McDonough row houses are set on a fully raised basement and enlivened by the rhythmic three-dimensional effect of alternating curving stone stairs and angled projecting one-and-a-half-story bays. McDonough, who became Savannah’s mayor in 1891, owned a sawmill and an iron foundry in nearby Bartow Ward.
