Ardsley Park, Chatham Crescent developed because of cars
In this first installment of Autos in the Archives, we are looking at images that show how automobiles ushered in the age of the suburb in Savannah and changed urban planning and domestic architecture forever.
Developed in the 1910s, Ardsley Park and Chatham Crescent are considered some of Savannah’s earliest suburbs. These suburbs resembled urban centers with their grid patterns, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and parks, but their simultaneous development with automobiles allowed their residents to spread out and locate farther from the city center.
