Description
The Savannah Cotton Exchange building was completed in 1887. During this time Savannah ranked first as a cotton seaport on the Atlantic and second in the world. Georgia became one of the leading cotton producer in the country and Savannah was one of the major cotton seaports on the Atlantic. In its peak year in 1914, the Cotton Exchange moved 3 million bales of cotton. But by 1920 the building became obsolete due to the boll weevil
Today the historic building is a Solomon’s Masonic Lodge and is open to the public on special occasions.
