Owens-Thomas House, Regency mansion in Savannah, United States.
The Owens-Thomas House displays English architectural design with cast iron work, tabby concrete walls, and intricate plasterwork throughout its two-story structure.
Built in 1819 for Richard Richardson, the property changed hands multiple times before George Welshman Owens purchased it at auction for $10,000 in 1830.
The preserved slave quarters reveal the stark contrast between the lives of wealthy residents and enslaved workers through authentic living spaces and artifacts.
The museum offers guided tours that include access to the main house, slave quarters, and formal garden at 124 Abercorn Street near Oglethorpe Square.
The building contains the earliest known example of indoor plumbing systems in the United States, with bridge-like water cisterns in its basement.
