Andrew Low House Museum

The Andrew Low House is a three-story mansion of brick and stucco defined by its wrap-around iron lace balconies and the two cast-iron lions that guard its entrance. Completed in eighteen forty-nine by New York architect John Norris, it was commissioned by Andrew Low, a Scottish immigrant who became the wealthiest cotton merchant in Savannah. The home reflects the prosperity of a city built on the nineteenth-century cotton trade, with a design that includes a dry moat and one of the earliest indoor plumbing systems in the area.
