We enjoyed the tour very much. One of the few homes you are able to enter in almost every room, except for the carriage house which has been converted to a private church residence. Most of the home is in its original state. Our tour guides pointed out many points of interest. The Saturday tour stops at 1 PM. We... more

Was quite blown away by the interior of this home . . . well worth the visit. The details of the architecture and moldings, practicality of the doors, charm of window seats, and beautiful floors add to the breathtaking scale of the rooms. The mirrors alone are amazing. As mentioned by others, Sherman stayed here following his march to the... more

We just returned from a visit to Charleston,SC & Savanah,Ga. The Green-Meldrim House was the highlight, the volunteers of the church who do the tours are wonderful and the home is so well loved and maintained. So many interesting architectural details, hidden doors, the wonderfull skylight. If you see only one home in Savanah make this the one. more

My husband and I have toured historic houses in many cities, and this is one of the best we have seen. We were able to tour all rooms (except the kitchen), both downstairs and upstairs, with no barriers as is often the case. The interior was spectacular--15-foot ceilings on the main floor, huge rooms, exquisite plaster cornice work, original interior... more

We were fortunate enough to speak to a woman that was a friend of one of the Meldrim children. She talked... more

The architectural features of this house are fascinating - - especially the skylight once used to "clear the air" in the house. The furnishings are not all original and include a mish-mash of donated items. The docents were very knowledgable (the house is now the parish house for the Church next door) and the admission price of $5.00 a bargain.... more

We thought this was great. The books don't really give it credit and we just passed it and thought, "well lets go in". I am so glad we did. The double parlors and beautiful - great ornamental plaster work. The front doors were very interesting, make sure they tell you about them. The dome is also very interesting. PLUS, the... more
