Pulaski Square (Savannah, Georgia)

Pulaski Square is one of the 22 squares of Savannah, Georgia, United States. It is located in the fourth row of the city's five rows of squares, on Barnard Street and West Macon Street, and was laid out in 1837. It is south of Orleans Square, west of Madison Square and north of Chatham Square. It is known for its live oaks. The oldest buildings on the square are the Theodosius Bartow House (126 West Harris Street) and the Bernard Constantine House (218 West Harris Street), which date to 1839.

The square is named for General Casimir Pulaski, a Polish-born Revolutionary War hero who died of wounds received in the siege of Savannah (1779). It is one of the few squares without a monument; General Pulaski's statue (and, likely, his remains) is in nearby Monterey Square.

Prior to the birth of the historical preservation movement and the restoration of much of Savannah's downtown, Pulaski Square sheltered a sizeable homeless population and was one of several squares that had been paved to allow traffic to drive straight through its center.

The square is one of the few to have a parking lot occupy one of its blocks (in this case the northeastern trust lot).
