Paula's Porch
Located in Savannah’s famed historic district, Paula S. Wallace's second-story porch represents outdoor living at its best.

“Whatever their forms or dimensions,” Paula writes in Perfect Porches: Designing Welcome Spaces for Outdoor Living, “porches help us rely less on artificial temperatures and more on natural cooling elements such as mild breezes, handheld
fans, and the South’s oldest antidote for global warming: sweet iced tea.”
