Photos of the newly renovated Drayton Tower in Savannah


OK, this really isn’t photos of Drayton Tower as much as photos from the freshly renovated international style apartment building at Liberty and Drayton streets here in Savannah.

Check out my Tuesday City Talk column about last Thursday’s grand opening, for which a number of units on the 12th floor were open.

I last wrote about Drayton Tower here on the blog over two months ago in a post about the benefits of greater residential density downtown.

Here you’ll just see a few photos that I took on the 12th floor and one I took from the ground.

People love to hate Drayton Tower, but it’s an architectural gem — of sorts — and it’s a bold and fascinating example of post-WW II architecture right smack in the middle of Savannah’s Historic District.

Pretty swank, in my opinion.
