rdf:langString Oglethorpe Avenue is a prominent street in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Located, in its downtown section, between York Street to the north and Hull Street to the south, it runs for about 1.26 miles (2.03 km) from the Atlantic Coastal Highway (U.S. Route 17) in the west to Randolph Street in the east. It was originally known as South Broad Street, then Market Street. After being named South Broad Street again for a period, it became known as Oglethorpe Avenue in 1897. It was formerly Oglethorpe Avenue singular, but its addresses are now split between "West Oglethorpe Avenue" and "East Oglethorpe Avenue", the transition occurring at Bull Street in the center of the downtown area. The street is named for the founder of the Savannah colony, James Edward Oglethorpe. The street is entirely within Savannah Historic District, a National Historic Landmark District. It contains what is believed to be the two oldest extant buildings in the city: Eppinger House and the Christian Camphor Cottage. Oglethorpe Avenue runs between eight squares. From west to east: To the south of * Telfair Square * Wright Square * Oglethorpe Square * Columbia Square * Greene SquareTo the north of * Orleans Square * Chippewa Square * Crawford Square The street also forms the northern boundary of Colonial Park Cemetery from Abercorn Street to Habersham Street. A memorial in the median of Oglethorpe Avenue at Bull Street lists the twenty people known to be interred in a Jewish cemetery, today known as Bull Street Cemetery, which formerly stood there. It includes Abraham Minis, one of Savannah's early immigrants from Europe.
