The Andrew Low House was the Savannah, Georgia, marriage home of
Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts, and was visited by
the likes of William Makepeace Thackeray and Robert Lee. Built on a
trust lot facing Lafayette Square, the house is now owned by The
National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of
Georgia and is open as a house museum. Tania June Sammons takes
readers through the house room by room, relating the history of the
Low family and the enslaved people who served them. The house
preserves one of the finest collections of period furnishings
relating to the history of Savannah, including furniture, silver,
porcelain, and paintings by some of America's most prestigious
furniture makers, including Duncan Phyfe and Joseph Barry. The
parterre garden, one of the three remaining original
nineteenth-century garden plans in the city, has been restored to
its period condition. In this richly illustrated book, Sammons
leads visitors through the house to see the following:bFirst Floor:
Front Formal Parlor, Informal Parlor, Dining Room, Low Library.
Second Floor: Robert E. Lee Bedroom, Children's Bedroom, William
Makepeace Thackeray Bedroom, Bathing Room, Low Bedroom, Stiles
Bedroom.
