Bryan Street
Bryan Street is a prominent street in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Located between Bay Street to the north and Congress Street to the south, it runs for about 1.10 miles (1.77 km) from a cul-de-sac in the west to East Broad Street in the east. Originally known only as Bryan Street singular, its addresses are now split between "West Bryan Street" and "East Bryan Street", the transition occurring at Bull Street in the center of the downtown area. Bryan Street is named for the Bryan family (brothers Hugh, Jonathan and Joseph), of South Carolina, who assisted James Edward Oglethorpe in establishing the Savannah colony. The street is entirely within Savannah Historic District, a National Historic Landmark District.
