The Gryphon Tea Room occupies the lower floor of this structure on Bull street. This was restored by the fine folks at the Savannah College of Art and Design like so many others here.

Red velvet cake and tea (110k)

No one could tell us what was in this cake, but Patti said YUM.

Tea, scones and cake (131k)

We were getting a bit tired after walking a lot. A snack and a quick coffee/tea was just the thing.

Old Apothecary (126k)

This is the area from which remedies and elixers of an earlier time were dispensed so many years ago.

Herbs, ointments and a variety of medicinals were kept here (163k)

The contents of these antique drawers can still be read easily.
