George Anderson Stores
George Anderson Stores is a historic building in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Located in Savannah's Historic District, the addresses of some of the properties are East Bay Street, above Factors Walk, while others solely utilize the former King Cotton warehouses on River Street. As of February 2022, these are The Peanut Shop of Savannah and Spanky's. The current building was constructed in 1835, but George W. Anderson, a cotton merchant, banker and planter, had a store in the previous incarnation, known as Richard Wayne's Wharf, too. The Andersons were one of Savannah's most prominent families, notably in the Civil War years. In October 1817, leading cabinetmaker Duncan Phyfe's first shipment to Savannah was recorded. He shipped six boxes to George Anderson and Son, who were active from 1817 to 1839. In April 1837, merchants Clark and Pelott were advertising from "Anderson's new Stores". The building stands adjacent to the Scott and Balfour Stores at 302–316 East Bay Street. See also
