The Andrew Low House is a Greek and Italianate Revival- style house museum with historic gardens in the heart of Savannah's National Historic Landmark District that was built in 1848, by New York architect, John Norris. The museum and gift shop welcomes visitors seven days a week, running tours and special events daily. The museum has a collection of painting, furniture, silver, and glass which provides a visual reference to how people lived and worked in mid-19th-century Savannah. Hear fascinating stories about the generations of people related to this site from Andrew Low, the first owner of the house, Girl Scout founder Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low, enslaved and free servants of the Low family, Robert E. Lee, and English writer William Makepeace Thackeray, who declared in 1856 that the house was "the most comfortable quarters I have ever had in the United States." In the 20th century, the Andrew Low House evolved from a home to the headquarters for The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Georgia, and is now an important historic house museum that gives life to local, national, and international history.
