Monterey Square

A small square designed in 1847 to honor the 1846 battle of Monterey during the Mexican American War. However, the monument in the middle was erected in honor of General Pulaski who was killed in battle nearby. I have included pictures of the surrounding residential and commercial buildings. Also included is the Mickve Israel Temple (built in 1878), home to one of the oldest congregations practicing Reform Judaism in the United States.

The architecture and ironwork is extraordinary, plus you have the Mercer House and Synagogue on this square.

So pretty I walked around this square in what felt like a quintessential Savannah moment. It was at dusk, with a light rain and fog. The street lights were a beautiful warm natural color, so the wet streets and the spanish moss with the historic buildings gave it a magical feeling. Very memorable and beautiful.

Monterey Square located between Taylor and Gordon Streets is very nice. The large white monument in the center is the focal point of this square near the Mercer-Williams House.

This lovely square is home to the Mercer-Williams House and General Casimir's Monument. It is a beautiful and peaceful square!!
