Robert Toombs House State Historic Site

The two-story wood-frame Robert Toombs House displays Greek Revival architecture with fluted Doric columns in its front colonnade.

Robert Toombs served as Confederate Secretary of State in 1861 before joining the Army of Northern Virginia as a brigadier general.

The interior rooms present mid-19th century decorations, including a dining room, ladies parlor, and law office with the original private library.

The Georgia State Parks system operates guided tours of the property at 216 East Robert Toombs Avenue in Washington.

Doctor Joel Abbott constructed the house between 1794 and 1801, with Robert Toombs adding the characteristic colonnade after purchasing it in 1837.
