He was one of three major architects in Savannah at the time, along with William Jay and Charles B. Clusky. Some of John Norris’ Savannah works include the Andrew Low House, the Cotton Exchange, the Mercer House, and the Green-Meldrim House. Completed in 1859, this building was originally used as a warehouse and later housed Steven’s Shipping Company. The lower floors were known as John Stoddard’s Lower Range and the top floors as John Stoddard’s Upper Range. During the War Between The States, General Sherman’s lesser officers used this building’s empty offices for housing and planning space. Our main dining room showcases a map that was hand-drawn by Union soldiers detailing Sherman’s march from Tennessee through Georgia. The map was originally found in 1901 during a renovation of the building. Workers were removing the old finish and noticed lines drawn on the wall. A small portion of the map was preserved, while the rest was covered due to damage and wear. FLOOR PLAN The first floor of our building is located on River Street. This level houses a coffee shop and the elevator which takes guests to the restaurant and bar located on the third, fourth, and fifth floors. Sona’s Salon is on the second floor where guests can enjoy shopping for unique souvenirs and t-shirts. The stairs and elevator allow access from River Street. The third floor holds the heart of our restaurant, the kitchen. Guests will also find the restrooms and Dieter’s Den (pronounced Dee-ter’s), which is a private dining room for parties of up to 40 guests. The fourth floor, or Bay Street level, is our main entrance. This level is comprised of our main dining room which overlooks River Street and Bay Street, the wine bar, and the piano bar with nightly live entertainment. The Stoddard Room is located on the fifth floor. This banquet room accommodates groups up to 150 people, and is the perfect location for wedding receptions, corporate events, and more.
