0:00
- We just left Forsyth,
0:03
and this is a Armstrong mansion,
0:07
and it was the law firm
0:10
in midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
0:14
Do you know who occupies that now, Eddie?
0:16
- [Eddie] Richard Kessler.
0:18
- Oh, that's right, Richard Kessler bought it.
0:22
- [Eddie] So it is now called the Armstrong Kessler.
0:25
- [Paula] Oh, Armstrong Kessler.
0:28
Well, it's beautiful.
0:37
I heard that he's got some beautiful antiques.
0:41
- Beautiful antiques. Yes.
0:46
- [Eddie] It is a boar, yes.
0:48
- [Pula] I thought it looked like a boar.
0:48
I thought I saw some teeth.
0:51
- [Eddie] He's a fountain.
0:55
- [Eddie] Mr. Kessler is a big art collector.
1:00
- [Eddie] You see the sculpture of David's head up there?
1:04
- [Paula] Where is that?
1:05
- [Eddie] Up in the in the window there.
1:11
The sculpture of David's head.
1:13
Look at that squirrel coming at us.
1:14
- [Paula] Oh, now I see it.
1:17
Oh, look at a little squirrel.
1:21
People said they like rats, but I love a squirrel.
1:24
Y'all, when I first moved to Savannah
1:27
and I had this thought that I would love
1:30
to live downtown, I would love it.
1:33
And this was my favorite street.
1:36
If I could ever buy me a piece of property down here
1:41
on Jones, honey, I would have thought I've made it now.
1:46
Yep, that is Jones. - Jones-
1:47
Jones and Bull Street. Yes.
1:52
- All residential. most popular.
1:53
Yeah, here's some businesses, you know, scattered about,
2:00
still probably the most desired residential street here
2:05
in Savannah, wouldn't you say, Eddie?
2:07
- [Eddie] Oh, definitely.
2:11
And I'm not sure, it might be one of,
2:12
like, the only brick line street.
2:16
I mean, a lot of the streets are like cobblestone or brick,
2:24
- [Paula] Well, it's just beautiful, so -
2:27
- [Paula] If you come to Savannah, you need
2:28
to get on Jones Street and drive west to east
2:33
and see the whole entire street.
2:35
- [Eddie] I just love, like, on this street,
2:40
- The flags. the flags going all the way
2:46
- [Eddie] And the high streets -
2:47
- [Paula] And listen to the church belts ringing, Eddie.
2:51
Oh my gosh, I can't believe the time.
2:58
So I'd wanna caution all you folks that come
3:03
Our streets are still...
3:05
A lot of them are still the original brick and cobblestone
3:09
and I've heard more than I would like
3:11
to hear about people falling
3:13
and breaking an arm or a leg or an ankle.
3:15
- [Eddie] Oh gosh, down on the river is
3:17
a really uneven cobblestone.
3:21
So, my caution to y'all is if you're gonna tour our city
3:26
by foot, make sure you have on some good flat shoes,
3:32
no heels, no clogs, just some good,
3:39
And you'll be glad you did.
3:42
- Yes, a lot of- these bricks are coming up.
3:46
- I'm telling you, Eddie has just brought me,
3:51
which blows my mind, the original SCAD school,
3:56
Savannah College of Art and Design.
3:58
This was the original-
4:00
- [Eddie] Everything started in that one building.
4:04
That was the very first building.
4:05
And even when I was there, - Uh-huh.
4:08
pretty much, you know the library was there,
4:11
graphic design and station . - Wow.
4:14
So when you came to classes, it was all in that building?
4:16
- [Eddie] It was all in that building, yes.
4:18
And now, gosh, I mean, they all-
4:20
- [Paula] How many locations is it?
4:23
- [Eddie] I don't even know.
4:24
How many locations or buildings in Savannah?
4:28
- [Paula] Buildings that belong to SCAD
4:29
where the classes are held now.
4:33
- [Eddie] I can't even count them anymore.
4:37
We're so fortunate that SCAD chose this town
4:41
to start this school in
4:44
because they're responsible for the revitalation
4:49
of so many of the old homes down here.
4:53
SCAD has really done us right.
4:56
And in the next video that Eddie
4:58
and I do about our downtown treasures,
5:02
I really hope y'all will stay tuned for it
5:05
because it's something very special to me.
5:13
