Greenwich At Bonaventure Cemetery-Savannah GA's Own Biltmore House-Forgotten No Longer
Did you know that Savannah, Georgia, once had its own Biltmore House? Few people who visit Bonaventure Cemetery do.
We hope that this video will serve as an introduction to the grounds and gardens of Greenwich and as a revival of the memory of the grandeur that once existed in Savannah.
It is possible to visit Bonaventure today and overlook the few remnants of the opulent estate that once stood nearby. The man who built this beautiful mansion, Spencer P. Shotter, a successful businessman, who was a part of of the New York City social scene with the Vanderbilts, Rockefellers and Carnegies. He held a worldwide monopoly in the naval stores industry circa 1900, yet is completely unknown to the many tour groups and visitors navigating Bonaventure Cemetery, even though they pass directly by the Shotter family gravesite there. There are many stories in Bonaventure to be told other than the Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil lore and tales of Johnny Mercer.
The massive three story, 40 room mansion, was adorned with a double colonnade of 26 columns on three of its sides. Its grand hall inside had 18 columns and was exquisitely decorated. The home’s interior and beautifully landscaped grounds held priceless, ancient works of art and statuary. Two of Savannah’s most prominent families exchanged ownership of Greenwich before a massive fire completely destroyed the mansion in 1923. One young child, who survived the fire by jumping from a second story window, is still with us today. Time and the unceremonious disposal of the ruins have allowed the Shotters and Greenwich to fade from memory.
In our research, we were able to acquire new photographs for our collection to complement our original hand colored postcards from the 1920s, including a panoramic photo showing the large greenhouse that was once a part of the grounds and copies of the original architectural plans of the mansion. Not always the best quality but all that remains.
The Gilded Age in Savannah ended amidst the ashes of Greenwich. We hope you’ll help us bring back to life the memory of this lost treasure and that you enjoy our film. Piano by Sam Hayman. Visit us at eArtFilm.com or at greenwichatbonaventure.com
A Walk Down River Street in Savannah GA - An Aerial View
Please Note...Shot in 2013 when drones were still hand built. So this video was done in the early days of the use of drones and the tech available at that time. When you stop in Savannah. GA, you just have to visit River Street. It is old time buildings with modern shops in them and lots of great food. At one end is a small park with items of interest. One is the Waving Girl who greets the ships as they come and go. We thought it would be a good place to start and end. The other was of the olympic torch that burned during the 1996 summer olympics yachting events along the river.
We also had the pleasure of being able to see the Hyperion, a $30 Million, private sailing yacht. With a mast that is 195 feet tall, it is quite the site and being able to see it from the air really puts it into perspective.
Enjoy the buildings and the area view from the old steel arch foot bridge to the World War II Globe memorial. We even had a police car pass under the quadcoptor. ;)

Little Gracie and the Missing Moss: Savannah Hauntings at Johnson Square
On a bluff overlooking a river that bears its name
lies a city of secret histories and ghostly acclaim.
Oh Savannah, you city of spectral delight,
how you can draw a chill on a hot, humid night.
Northernmost on Bull Street you'll find Johnson Square,
its haunted breath hangs heavy in the air.
The city boasts Spanish Moss hanging from every tree,
but in Johnson Square there is no hanging moss to see.
Some claim the moss won't grow over the bones of Nathaniel Greene,
others say it is for a child whose phantom form is often seen.
In the late nineteenth century, little Gracie lived on the square,
and she loved to greet any travelers that she would see there.
Despite her sweet nature death came and swept her away,
But travelers still see her waving on Johnson Square to this day.
And if you dare go as the stars start to pepper the sky,
you just might see this ghostly girl out of the corner of your eye.

The Grave of Gracie Watson - Savannah GA
See more at
Among those resting for eternity in Savannah GA’s beautiful Bonaventure Cemetery is a little girl named Gracie Watson. Gracie was a beloved fixture at the Pulaski House during the late 1800s. She passed away at age six, just two days before Easter in 1889. Her grave marker is one of the more visited spots in Bonaventure. Visitors marvel at the life-like sculpture commissioned by her father. Little Grace is also rumored to still be seen playing in Johnson Square in downtown Savannah. Grab a tissue for this latest episode of Stories, Secrets and Sagas.
EPISODE TRANSCRIPT
Sometimes with almost the blink of an eye life can change abruptly. A once happy family, prosperous in business, can end up destitute and heartbroken with loss. This story -- one of a little girl living in Savannah, Georgia during the 1800s fits that scenario. Come with me, back in time to learn her story.
As the calendar of time slips back through the years, back to a time before automobiles, airplanes and telephones, back to a world of carriages and buggies, sailing ships and the date of July 10th, 1883 when a little girl named Gracie Watson was born in Savannah, Georgia.
Gracie was born the only child of W.J. and Frances Watson, a very happy couple who managed the well-known Pulaski House. The inn was popular, but even more popular amongst the guests was endearing little Gracie. Legend has it that she was the unofficial greeter at the hotel, and I can only imagine this little angel laughing with joy as she played in and around the inn.
Up until the 20th Century, the childhood mortality rate was very high. There were no vaccines or antibiotics, and sadly, in the early spring of 1889, Gracie became sick. What probably started as a bad cold got continually worse. Eventually, it became full-blown pneumonia. The doctor was called, and I am sure he tried everything in his power, but there was nothing to do but pray she would survive.
Sadly, just two days before Easter in 1889, Gracie passed. Having a daughter of my own, I cannot imagine the trauma and sorrow this must have caused her parents. I am sure they were devastated.
To help immortalize the tragic loss her father hired a well-known sculptor to create a life-sized, visually accurate grave marker of Gracie in Bonaventure Cemetery. Today the beautiful memorial sits quietly, frozen in time, a time when Gracie was alive and all was good for the Watson family. Adding even more to an already sad story, Gracie’s father eventually quit his job at the Pulaski Hotel. It could have been from the constant reminders of his little girl playing in the hotel or maybe he just needed a change, but whatever the case, he and Frances left Savannah for their original home in New England and never returned.
Gracie is all alone here, and it has been said that on some quiet evenings around Johnson Square in downtown Savannah, a spirit of a little girl can be seen walking around and playing in the square. In her mind, the hotel and her parents are still there. In her mind, she is probably looking for new guests to greet, but she waits, caught between time for those who will never come. We’ll see you next time on Stories, Secrets and Sagas.
