We were a bit puzzled as to which old homes to visit in Savannah, even after reading about the city and checking out the reviews on Trip Advisor. We finally chose the Green-Meldrim House because of Gen. Sherman selecting it as his HQ. It was built in the middle of the 19th century and is grand, both on the ouside... more

The Green Meldrim house is absolutely gorgeous. We had two guides.. one for each floor and both were very knowledgeable and gave us great information on the house. It is beautifully appointed and very ornate complete with marble fireplaces and silver doorknobs. The furniture really shows the opulance for the time. It was built in the mid-1800s. It really felt... more

I was so bored while touring this house. The tour guide was terrible! He was a little old man that reminded you of Ben Stein's character in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. He spoke in such a monotone, I think I fell asleep twice standing up. The house is beautiful but I wouldn't waste my time in touring this house. The... more

The house itself is really cool. The history is par for the area. The architecture really is innovative. Worth the time and the money. more

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

From the inventive fixtures (electricity wasn't placed in the house until 1921) to the beautiful ceiling work to the hidden closets (they taxed the rooms in the house so they didn't have closets) this is the house to see. 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
