Drayton Tower - a photo on Flickriver

Drayton Tower

            Unusual in Savannah for its stark Modernist lines, the Drayton Tower was built in 1949-51 by the Federal Housing Administration to provide moderately priced housing downtown.  For such a building, its design was remarkably progressive for the period.  In later years, its unapologetically Modernist design was not appreciated by many who saw it as an intrusive element in the historic district.   A sensitive restoration of the structure began in 2006 and was recently completed.  The building still serves its original purpose as an apartment building, though the units are offered at market rates.
