The Olde Pink House

Pink Saturday: The Olde Pink House, Savannah


What could be more fitting on Pink Saturday than the ultimate pink house? This beautiful pink stuccoed home, built is 1771, has be been a private residence, a bank, a tea room and the headquarters of one of Sherman's generals. Today it is a fabulous restaurant!  We were able to tour this historic beauty before it opened and we were amazed at all the historic dining rooms and the much in demand ballroom- a perfect spot for a wedding reception. If you love pink, this is a must see on a trip to Savannah!






Situated on Reynolds Square, it graces Savannah's historic district. It is especially striking when the pink azaleas are in bloom.


We had a wonderful dinner eating in the carriage house connected to the main house. The food and the atmosphere made our eating experience a memorable event!

Wouldn't you love to live in a pnk house? Well, in historic Savannah you could!
I am participating in Pink Saturday, hosted by my dear friend Beverly at How Sweet The Sound.

  4. Since this is a historic house, I wonder if it was pink originally? I know I want to visit Savannah soon!

  10. How pretty! I don't think I could convince the marine to live in a pink house. The bitty one would be in heaven. It is simply gorgeous inside as well as out.

    I do hope that you are feeling well really soon! Fav colors? Red! Cause I am a flagrant hussy! Self proclaimed of course. I had a bad experience with green. When I was younger, I got to redo my room. Everything was purple and white so my future husband, Donny Osmond, would love it as much as me. My parents were buying new carpet for my room. I excitedly came home from school to see it and opened the door to forest green carpet! I have hated green ever since.

  15. What a beautiful place to visit...the terrace is gorgeous!

    So glad you tried the Chicken Parmesan and liked it! It's one of my favorite chicken dishes and so easy to prepare.

    Have a great weekend!

  16. Yvonne,
    You ALWAYS treat us with your wonderlust and wonderful photos! Since having a grand daughter, I have rediscovered pink! Emma adopted a phrase that she uses quite frequently...."Make it pink or I'll make a stink!" Seriously....

  19. Well if there were a prize for Pink Saturday then you would certainly win. No one could do better than the Pink House. I remember eating there a couple of times - once as a kid who didn't really appreciate the magic of it at the moment I'm sure, and once on a job interview. That's right, I almost lived in Savannah, but the Lord sent me to lovely Fort Worth instead...

  20. Always enjoy your beautiful pictures and interesting posts-I like to think that ballroom has seen a lot of dancing, hoop skirts and dance cards. Wish those walls could talk!!

  23. I would like to visit, but no, I wouldn't like to live in a pink house. Think it would look funny in the winter surrounded by snow??My Christmas decos would clash, LOL!
    Looks like a lovely restaurant!

  28. A sweet hello from Frog Hollow Farm! What a great post, you have a way with words and photos. I've never been to Savannah but boy, I want to get in my car and drive right on down there after reading your last few posts. We had a 'Pink House' here in NJ for many years down in Cape May. It was a beautiful Victorian painted pink with white gingerbread and sold the most beautiful things. Ciao, bella!

  29. Yvonne, That is one beautiful house/restaurant. I'd been to Savannah twice. The second time I went the city cut back on the Magnolias/lovelyflowers. Yes, it is a beautiful city next to New Orleans.I love the iron brass window fence style. I can't rememeber what they called it. Have a good week. Happy PS. Nancy

  30. Of course, I would live in a pink house...especially if it were a historic house. Now, I am sure that if I painted our present house pink, our neighborhood association would not only file a complaint with the county, but would call the men in white coats to carry me to the psyhc ward.
    Wonderful post.

  31. Yvonne, this is a lovely post. I've been to Savannah, but don't recall if I went here. The Quimper Club meeting will be in Savannah this next fall. I'll plan to eat here if it isn't part of the meeting plans. Thanks for sharing this.

  32. Hubby and I ate there the last time we were in Savannah, and we loved it. I also did a Pink Saturday post on it, but I wasn't able to get all of the beautiful inside shots that you got because the restaurant was open when we got there. I was disappointed we didn't see any ghosts, though!

  33. A perfect pink house..I am in love. I can imagine myself living there...really, I can! I have never been to Savannah, but have always wanted to. When I do I must go visit this house.
