The Andrew Low House can be visited via guided tours, setting off at half-hour intervals, every hour, daily. These tours give insights into the house’s history and its inhabitants, the Low family, portraying the lifestyle of a prosperous 19th-century Savannah family.
The mansion was constructed in 1848-1849 under the direction of John S Norris, a renowned New York architect, and exhibits a fusion of Greek Revival and Italianate design elements. The house occupies the whole southwest trust lot facing Lafayette Square.
The Andrew Low House features one of the few remaining original 19th-century gardens in Savannah, and it’s the only one accessible to the public. The parterre gardens’ blueprint, established mid-century post-construction of the house, have been maintained since, initially by the Low family, and subsequently by the current owners, the National Society of The Colonial Dames of America.
