Old Kress Building Broughton St Savannah Ga Architectural Photo Loose Wall Art Print

Old Kress Building Broughton St Savannah GA — Color Architectural Photography Unframed Art Print

From 1923 to 1997, the Kress Building on West Broughton Street was where Savannah came to shop. The five-and-dime is long gone, but the brick facade remains — and with it, the faded Kress lettering that has become one of the street’s most quietly beloved details. This photograph captures the building’s weathered face through a dark abstract color filter that layers red, blue, gray, beige, and green into the brickwork, giving the image a moody, almost painterly quality. It is a photograph about time — about what a building holds after the people have moved on, and why some facades deserve to be looked at slowly.

Where It Works

The horizontal format and rich, layered color palette make this a compelling piece for spaces that appreciate urban history, local character, and artistic photography:

• Living rooms & great rooms — a wide, atmospheric focal point that anchors a wall and invites conversation about the story behind it
• Home offices & libraries — the historic subject and moody color treatment suit a thoughtful, book-lined workspace with a love of local history
• Dining rooms & sitting rooms — the warm red and beige tones create a rich, inviting backdrop for evening gatherings
• Industrial & loft interiors — the weathered brick subject and layered color palette complement exposed structural elements and urban-inspired spaces
• Traditional & eclectic interiors — the historic subject pairs naturally with antiques, vintage finds, and curated, character-rich decor
• Savannah & Georgia-themed spaces — a meaningful piece of local art for anyone with a deep connection to Broughton Street and the city’s commercial history
• Gallery walls — a strong horizontal anchor among other Savannah architectural prints or urban photography
