Description
Completed in 1820, this handsome building on Columbia Square is one of the city's finest examples of Federal architecture. Its proposed destruction in 1953 caused such a public outcry that seven local women raised over $20,000 to prevent it. From this impetus was born the Historic Savannah Foundation, which through the years has been responsible for restoring over 1000 historically and architecturally significant city structures.
