Factors Walk and River Street
Between Bay and River streets
Located along the river bluff on Bay Street, this area was a 19th century meeting place and center of commerce for cotton merchants. The top contained offices for cotton brokers, and the lower warehouses on River Street contained the cotton that was shipped from Savannah to the world. Bridge ways connect the buildings now used for quaint shops and restaurants. Cobblestones known as ballast stones used in ships from England pave each Savannah River bluff ramp and form the Savannah River walkways.

Savannah Insider Tidbits.
After the Revolutionary War “The Strand” name of today’s “Bay Street” was considered too British, so the citizens of Savannah changed the name of the east/west main street to its current Americanized name, “Bay Street” because of it’s proximity to the river.
