An antique dealer told us not to miss this house. We had a small tour group of six and the guide was excellent. The furniture is beautiful, Duncan Phyfe chairs, and other priceless antiques. We have toured many homes and this was one of the best we've seen. More

The house was simply beautiful and is a 'preservation' house as opposed to a 'restoration' house - it remained in the family until the foundation that currently owns it took possession. They have an a lot of original family pieces, and if not original to the house, pieces are authentic from the period. Andrew Lowe was a wealthy cotton broker,... More

Lots of interesting history, furniture, architecture. We toured 4 homes in Savannah, and enjoyed them all. I would definitely tour this house. Docent was well-informed. More

We recently visited Savannah and took in several of the open historic houses, including the Owens-Thomas House, the Mercer House, and Juliet Lowe's Birthplace. The most interesting house was the Andrew Lowe House, which is in excellent repair and contains the best furniture we saw in any of the houses, including several pieces by Duncan-Fyfe. If you like historic houses... More

This beautiful home has been lovingly restored and the furnishings and architecture are amazing. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and nice. She made us feel that we had stepped into the past and you almost expect the owner to walk through the door. Couldn't imagine a better experience. More

The house is beautiful, the furnishings and the architecture are very impressive, and everything is in pristine conditions. Our guide was nice and very knowledgeable. It was our first stop on our walking tour of Savannah, and being a military family it was complimentary. If you have children, check out the Savannah Safari (you will need to search online), it...

The tour guide was very informative and pleasant. This is a must see as it remained in the family until it was sold to the Colonial Dames. More

Julie only lived here a month or so because the house belonged to her husband who had numerous affairs with other women and eventually divorced her. The tour guides, since this is his house, do not tell you how awful he was to Julie and the true history of his life and activities are covered up. I felt that I... More

She was extremely knowledgeable about the house. I would go back to visit this house next time Im there.The only thing I could say about the... More

This house was kept well. The lady in the store was very nice. Our tour guide knew a lot of stuff. The house was put together. I love the front garden. This is a must see if you are in Savannah. More
