Michael Cash

Michael Cash (1833–1880) was an Irish stonemason who was active in the mid-19th century. His most notable work is the Factors Walk retaining wall in Savannah, Georgia, which was built between 1855 and (after interruption) 1869.

Factors Walk retaining wall

Cash's most notable work is the Factors Walk retaining wall that separates River Street and its working waterfront from the city of Savannah, Georgia, United States. The wall, which runs for and averages in height, is part of Savannah's Historic District. Its purpose was to provide access to shipping while also preventing erosion of the 40-foot-high bluff beside the Savannah River. The wall was partially dismantled by U.S. soldiers during the Civil War, with the blocks placed in the river to block Confederate vessels. It was repaired in 1866.
