220–230 West Bay Street (also known as the Johnston Range) is a row of three historic buildings in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Located in Savannah's Historic District, the addresses of some of the properties are West Bay Street, above Factors Walk, while others solely utilize the former King Cotton warehouses on River Street. As of February 2022, these are Nourish, Harley-Davidson Motory Cycles, Charleston Hemp Collective and Dub's Public House.

The building was completed by 1823, for "Matthew Johnston and others," making it one of the earliest buildings in the riverfront area.[1] The western end of the building, number 224, was damaged by fire in 1851.

In 1917, the Hecker-Jones-Jewell Milling Company of New York City had an office at number 220.[2]

The International Milling Company was occupying numbers 220 and 222 around 1940.[1]
