ISAIAH DAVENPORT HOUSE
The Davenport House presents the story and lifestyle of a young master builder, Isaiah Davenport, and his household in the early 19th century. Saving the fine Federal-style house Davenport built in 1820 was the founding effort of Historic Savannah Foundation, the city’s premier historic preservation organization.
ANDREW LOW HOUSE
This mansion of classical mid-19th century design was built by Andrew Low, a wealthy cotton merchant of Liverpool and Savannah. The residence later became the home of William Low and his bride Juliette Gordon Low. Overlooking Lafayette Square, the house is beautifully furnished with period pieces from generations of Low and related families.
WILLIAM SCARBROUGH HOUSE
Designed in 1819, by noted English architect William Jay, William Scarbrough House is one of the earliest examples of domestic Greek Revival architecture in the South. Restored by Historic Savannah Foundation in the 1970's and again in the 1990's by Ships of the Sea, this National Historic Landmark is now the elegant setting for the Museum’s collection of ship models, paintings, and maritime antiques.
