Sorrel–Weed House, Greek Revival museum in Madison Square, Savannah, United States.

The Sorrel Weed House spans 16,000 square feet, featuring large porticos, ornamental details, and a combination of Greek Revival and Regency architectural elements.

Francis Sorrel, a prominent merchant, commissioned architect Charles Cluskey to build this residence in 1840, which later received Georgia State Landmark status in 1954.

Confederate General Robert E Lee stayed at this residence in 1861, while General Moxley Sorrel wrote influential Civil War memoirs within these walls.

Located at 6 West Harris Street, the museum offers daytime historical tours and evening ghost tours, with groups meeting in the courtyard entrance.

The opening sequence of the 1994 film Forrest Gump was filmed from the rooftop of this historical structure in Savannah.
