United States, Georgia, Chatham County, Savannah, 32.08354, -81.099831997/2018Peter Tondee and his business partner built a silk filature on Reynolds Square in 1759. The building served multiple public functions before it was destroyed by fire in 1839.This image depicts Tondee's Tavern, which stood at the northwest corner of Broughton and Whitaker streets in Savannah, Georgia. The tavern, owned by Peter Tondee, became center stage for the political drama that brought a fledgling province into the ranks of the war for American liberty, and it served for several years during and after the Revolution as the seat of government for the new state. The first record of any assembly at Tondee's Tavern was the twentieth-anniversary meeting of the Union Society on April 23, 1770. Over the next six years Tondee's Tavern was the hub of revolutionary sentiment.Courtesy of Carl Solana Weeksimage/jpeghttp://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/peter-tondee-ca-1723-1775Forms part of: New Georgia Encyclopediahttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/CNE/1.0/http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/peter-tondee-ca-1723-1775Forms part of: New Georgia EncyclopediaTaverns (Inns)--Georgia--SavannahBuildings--Georgia--SavannahPolitical planning--Georgia--SavannahMeetings--Georgia--SavannahUnited States--History--Revolution, 1775-1783Savannah (Ga.)--Buildings, structures, etc.Silk FilatureStillImage
