Oglethorpe Barracks

Oglethorpe Barracks usually refers to a 19th-century United States Army post in the historic district of Savannah, Georgia.

Local Confederate volunteer companies occupied Oglethorpe Barracks throughout American Civil War until Union General William Tecumseh Sherman captured the city in 1864.

United States Army troops continued to occupy Fort Oglethorpe after the end of the Civil War.

In 1875, a brick wall 10 feet (3.0 m) high enclosed the barracks and connected the buildings that abutted city streets.

The hotel featured five stories, 206 rooms, a solarium, a barber shop, a drug store, and a restaurant; a swimming pool (outdoor) was added later.

The parcel on which Oglethorpe Barracks once stood now lies just northeast of Madison Square in historic old Savannah.
