The Savannah Storm
Savannah, Georgia (Greek Revival townhouse)
photograph forthcoming
The Savannah Storm is a three-season storm door — a single frame with three swappable inserts, allowing the same door to serve as winter glass, summer screen, or louvered hurricane shutter. The Society acquired it from a Greek Revival townhouse near Forsyth Park. The owner had all three inserts, in original storage racks in the carriage house. It is the only complete three-insert set the Society has cataloged.
