Ellis Square, located in Savannah, GA, is a historic public space that has undergone significant transformation over the years. Originally the site of the City Market, the square saw the demolition of the old market building in 1954 to make way for a parking garage. In a later redevelopment effort, the parking garage was replaced with an underground structure, allowing for the restoration of a vibrant public square at street level.
Following extensive community input, Ellis Square now boasts a modern urban plaza designed to cater to a range of activities and events. Visitors can enjoy features such as a visitor center, restrooms, an interactive fountain, various seating areas, and space for live performances. Notably, the square is home to a bronze statue honoring the renowned Savannah native and songwriter, Johnny Mercer, adding a touch of local culture to the space.
