Review:

Wright Square is Savannah's second-oldest public square, originally named Percival Square in honor of British colonial figure Lord Percival. The square, which is located along Bull Street between York and State Streets, was renamed in 1763 in honor of Georgia Royal Governor James Wright. It serves as the burial site for Creek indigenous nation leader Tomochichi, a close friend of colony founder James Oglethorpe and influential figure in Savannah's city planning. A monument in the square honors Central of Georgia Railroad founder William Washington Gordon, replacing a former monument to Tomochichi in 1883. A new monument also honors Tomochichi, erected in 1899 at the persistence of Gordon's widow. Attractions on the square include the Lutheran Church of Ascension, the Tomochichi Federal Building, and the city's United States Courthouse.
