Gingerbread House Charming Savannah Photo Puzzle

The Gingerbread House located in Savannah’s Victorian district is one of the finest examples of Steamboat Gothic style of architecture. The district developed in the late 1800-s as Savannah’s first suburb when the population of the city started growing. The houses in the area were constructed between 1870 and 1910 with The Gingerbread House, or Asendorf House as it is also known, completed in 1899. It is also an amazing venue for a Savannah wedding! Although initially it was named after the man who built it, Cord Asendorf, locals have been referring to it as The Gingerbread House for years because of the elaborate gingerbread arches. It is one of the most photographed homes in Savannah and has been featured in many films, not to mention that celebrities and even US Presidents, including Woodruff and Roosevelt, stayed there. Even though the house is over a century old, restorations helped preserve the way it looks as close to the original three-story southern mansion as possible. It is framed by a 200 year old graceful oak tree at its entrance, and dozens of oak trees line the streets of the neighborhood.
