Andrew Low House, Historic house museum in Lafayette Square, Savannah, United States.
The Andrew Low House is a historic residence at Lafayette Square that combines Greek Revival and Italianate architectural styles. The building features cast iron balconies, stone lions adorning the facade, and a raised basement surrounded by a dry moat.
This residence was built in 1849 by a Scottish merchant named Andrew Low. It later became the home of Juliette Gordon Low and sits on the grounds of Savannah's former colonial jail.
The rooms show how wealthy merchants lived in Savannah during the 1800s, with furnishings and decorative objects from that era. Walking through reveals the daily life and social standing of affluent families in the city at that time.
The house is easy to reach as it sits directly on Lafayette Square in the city center. Visitors can combine it with other nearby museums to explore several locations in a single day.
The large front entrance doors were designed to replicate the bronze doors of Rome's Temple of Romulus. This unusual choice shows the classical influences the owner wanted to incorporate into his home.
