Gaston Street

Gaston Street is a prominent street in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Located south of Gordon Street, it runs for about 0.77 miles (1.24 km) from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in the west to East Broad Street in the east. Originally known only as Gaston Street singular, its addresses are now split between "West Gaston Street" and "East Gaston Street", the transition occurring at Bull Street in the center of the downtown area. The final block of East Gaston Street, from Price Street to East Broad Street, is offset to the north by a few yards from the rest of the street. Named for William Gaston, a prominent Savannahian merchant, the street is entirely within Savannah Historic District, a National Historic Landmark District.
