Poetter Hall is an academic building in Savannah, Georgia, United States.

In April 1889, a fire destroyed a National Guard Armory in Savannah, Georgia, which had been designed by architect J.

[1] In 1890, the Savannah Volunteer Guards (a part of the United States National Guard) purchased a new property at the intersection of Bull Street and Madison Street and, while initially planning to simply expand the pre-existing building at the site, decided instead to demolish the building and build a new armory at the site.

[5] The location for the new armory was across the street from the Hotel DeSoto,[6] which Preston had designed several years earlier in 1890.

[9] At the time, the building was in a deteriorated state, and a large-scale renovation commenced.
