| The Pulaski Monument in Monterey Square | |||||
| On the East side of this square there is the Owens-Thomas House, which many feel is the finest example of Regency architecture in the United States. Originally the Unitarian Church, now the Baptist Center (Jingle Bells Church), sits on the square. On the Sourthwest corner is the Urban Health Center, originally built in 1907 as the Marine Hospital. Moravian Marker - Oglethorpe Square In 1933, in the northeastern section of Oglethorpe Square, a granite pedestal about four feet, shaped like a fluted column, with an inscribed bronze tablet mounted on a tabloid, saying: "In Memory of the Moravian Colonists in Savannah 1735-1740 who Maintained a mission to the Indians, This memorial is presented to the City of Savannah by the Wachovia Historical Society of Winston-Salem, NC" was erected. The Moravians are members of a Protested sect founded in Saxony (formerly a portion of Southeastern Germany). The Moravians immigrated to Savannah in 1735 to create a mission among the native Americans. The original mission site in Savannah was located on Broughton and Habersham Streets. Due to the war with Spain, they left Savannah in 1740. Subsequently a moravian settlement was established in Pennsylvania. |
