Historic Forsyth Park Home Built with Love Since 1898
John Hinson Wilder — a grocer who worked just down the street — built this duplex in 1898 as a gift for his family. Two private entrances, side by side, so his children could be close but with lives of their own. That logic still holds. 127 years later, the original heart-pine floors, the 11-foot plaster ceilings, and the address itself remain exactly as he chose them.
Soaring 11-foot ceilings. Original heart-pine floors that creak just enough to remind you you’re staying in a real historic home, not a replica. Fully stocked kitchens, private off-street parking, and a picnic basket — for the 4-minute walk to Forsyth Park.
Two of downtown Savannah’s only grocery stores are three blocks from the front door. 314 East Park Avenue sits on the street that runs along the park’s east side — one of the closest licensed vacation rental addresses to Forsyth Park in Savannah.
