Green-Meldrim House, Gothic Revival mansion in Madison Square, Savannah, United States
The Green-Meldrim House is a townhouse from the 1800s located on Madison Square in Savannah. The building features elaborate interior spaces with carved walnut woodwork, marble fireplaces throughout, and a curved staircase lit from above by a skylight.
The house was built in 1850 as a residence for a wealthy merchant family. During the American Civil War, Union General William Sherman used it briefly as his headquarters after taking control of Savannah in 1864.
The house reflects the tastes and daily life of a prosperous merchant family from the 1800s through its rooms and furnishings. Visitors experience how the family occupied these spaces and arranged them for social gatherings.
The house sits on Madison Square in Savannah's historic downtown and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should be aware that rooms are connected by stairs and that guided tours are required to view the interiors.
The house was originally built as part of a marriage agreement by a merchant to celebrate his new life with his bride. This personal investment made it one of the most elaborately furnished homes in the city at that time.
