Stop 2 · Architecture & streetscapes
Factors Walk
A stretch built for looking up: porches, brick, ironwork, and the little details you only catch on foot.
Next: Keep a steady, comfortable pace to the next stop.

Selected options: Museum option: SCAD Museum of Art
This all-day framework starts with the riverfront (best when you’re fresh), then shifts into one museum module, and finishes with gentle history-rich blocks back through the core of the Historic District.
Vacation on Lafayette → River Street
- Start at Vacation on Lafayette (217 E Charlton St).
- Walk north toward the riverfront, keeping your route straightforward and using major streets when you want fewer turns.
- Arrive at River Street and take a moment to look out over the water.
River Street → Factors Walk
- From River Street, slip onto Factors Walk to see the layered, brick-and-ramp side of the riverfront.
- Take your time on stairs and ramps; it’s part of the texture here.
Factors Walk → Savannah City Hall (comfort stop)
- Head east toward Savannah City Hall for a convenient reset point.
- Comfort stop note: it’s often a good option for a quick restroom/water reset—availability can vary, so plan to confirm.
City Hall → SCAD Museum of Art (museum module)
- From City Hall, head southwest toward the SCAD Museum of Art.
- This is your “indoor break” module—nice if the day is hot, humid, or rainy.
SCAD Museum of Art → Green-Meldrim House
- Leave the museum and head back toward the Green-Meldrim House area.
- This is a good “architecture texture” pause before your quieter cemetery leg.
Green-Meldrim House → Colonial Park Cemetery → Owens-Thomas House → Back to Vacation on Lafayette
- Continue to Colonial Park Cemetery and keep your pace calm and respectful.
- Then head to the Owens-Thomas House area for a final, story-rich stop.
- From there, return to Charlton Street and back home to Vacation on Lafayette.
