I love folk Victorians, so when I saw this one, I was dismayed that all the land around this 1885 home had been clear-cut. I stopped to take a few photos thinking that this would not be around much longer. According to the Upstate Business Journal, the home will be a centerpiece of a mix-use development.
After researching a bit, this home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The home was built by Henry Howe and E. Foggette. The photos of the farm can be seen on the South Carolina Department of Archives and History.
Started in 1853, Catholic Cemetery was developed after leaders in the Catholic Diocese asked that there be a Catholic section in Laurel Grove North Cemetery, and their request was denied. After the cemetery opened, many remains were moved from Colonial Park Cemetery to here. Along with the remains, many of the stones were moved, too.
Sherman’s troops used the cemetery as an encampment area. Many markers were damaged, and the ironwork was used to build fortifications.
This is an overlooked cemetery when people think of the must-see cemeteries in Savannah. There are several grand Victorian markers. There’s at least one John Walz of “Little Gracie” fame.
