Ugliest renovation in Savannah, not worth it!

We were told that the Davenport House was worth visiting because it showed how a middle class person would have lived. We thought it would be a nice comparison to the luxury of the Owen-Thomas or...

It's always interesting to learn about the different times of a city. Bernard our guide was very interesting.

Great example of original architecture.

What I loved about this home was the original architecture and wood work. The floors are even original to the home....that is very rare! The tour guide was very knowledgable too.

My sisters and I visited the Davenport House towards the end of September 2007. The tour is very much worth the $8.00 pp which is charged. The Davenport House has been beautifully restored. They...

Well reconstructed Federal style home

We choose this home for it's federal style and that it was built by the master builder Isaiah Davenport. Suprisingly it has been re-done to mirror what it would have looked like as a builder would...

over rated...not worth it!

We only got to see 5 rooms and none of the rooms had the Davenport oringinal possesions. Not much was in the rooms, it was only what they thought they might have from the inventory list. So they went...

Ugly on the inside, pretty on the outside

This was a bit of a dissapointment as it was led by probably a young college student who, though interested in the home and family, wasn't all that great. The home itself was just okay and I found the...

Rude Tour Guide

The house was just ok, and the tour guide Dotty was rude. It was only $8 a person to get in and did show some history, but there are much better houses- Owens-Thomas and Mercer!

Bad Taste Transends the Ages

We have had the opportunity to see many wonderful old houses. This one seems to have a curator who is color blind or perhaps using controlled substances. While there may be some historical...

I really enjoyed the Davenport House Museum. It was beautifully restored and nicely furnished to represent how it would have been lived in by its builder and first owner. The guide included many facts...
