Andrew Low House
Descripción
Andrew Low House puede ser visto por recorridos guiados por docentes, que salen a intervalos de 30 minutos (en la hora y media hora) todos los días. Los tours discuten la historia de la casa y la familia Low, mostrando cómo habría vivido una familia adinerada en Savannah en el siglo XIX. La casa fue construida en 1848-1849 por el arquitecto John S Norris, un notable arquitecto de Nueva York y diseñada en el estilo del Renacimiento griego, con una mezcla de detalles italianos y del Renacimiento. La casa ocupa todo el lote del fideicomiso suroeste frente a Lafayette Square. Andrew Low House tiene uno de los pocos jardines originales que sobreviven creados en Savannah en el siglo XIX, y el único abierto al público. El diseño de los jardines del parterre data de mediados de siglo, poco después de la finalización de la casa. Sus planos de distribución y plantación se han conservado desde entonces, primero por la familia Low y luego por la Sociedad Nacional de las Damas Coloniales de América, las actuales propietarias de la casa.

Itinerario
Una visita a la hermosa Savannah no estaría completa sin una visita guiada por un docente de 40 minutos por la histórica Andrew Low House. Esta mansión de estilo italiano fue construida para el rico comerciante de algodón Andrew Low por John Norris, un codiciado arquitecto de Nueva York. El hijo de Andrew Low, William, y Juliette Gordon Low, el famoso fundador de las Girl Scouts of the USA, heredaron la casa después de su fallecimiento. Los huéspedes experimentarán una visita guiada por docentes expertos que salen cada 30 minutos (en la hora y media) todos los días. Los recorridos discuten la historia de la casa y la familia Low, mostrando cómo vivían en el siglo XIX, así como los esclavos que vivían y trabajaban en el hogar. Las habitaciones del primer piso incluyen los salones formales e informales de la familia, la biblioteca y el comedor. Arriba hay una sala de juegos para niños y un baño interior poco común para la época, y dormitorios, dos de los cuales alguna vez estuvieron ocupados por invitados notables de la familia.

Excellent historical tour with a great deal of information. Tour guide kept us engaged with opportunities to ask questions throughout the tour.
The house set-up is amazing and very historically accurate. My 7 children and grandchildren loved looking at the different paintings and wood carvings. My 9 y/o granddaughter especially loves the Girl Scouts background history! 100% recommend for those visiting Savannah 😍💯 PS watch out for the creepy dolls! 😱😱😱
Thank you so much for your kind words about your tour experience with us. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your tour. The museum is so multi faceted with Savannah's rich history and we are so glad you chose to visit us during your trip to Savannah. The dolls......The twin boy dolls in the nursery are by far my favorite.
This house tour was fantastic! The rich history provided by an amazing guide, Frank, provided a superb backdrop for the era and beyond! We were surprised to have almost full access to the house, not typical on most historical home tours! The rich history provided and original surroundings are very special and much appreciated! The effort put forth to maintain and share such treasures is outstanding! Thank you for a wonderful experience!
Dear Laura, Thank you for visiting us while in Savannah and for your kind words about your tour with us. We strive everyday to preserve the beauty of this historic home and its collection. We especially love when our visitors recognize all that we do to make the guest's experience a positive one. Thank you again and safe travels home.
This is one the later houses, built in 1847 (with indoor bathroom), and Low was for some time the wealthiest man in the city. He could afford to spend and he did. All in good taste, but grand. Steve gives a very thorough tour; knows the house and furnishings very well, willing to entertain questions of all sorts. Some people might go for Julia Gordon Low house for its more direct connection to the Girl Scouts, but this is by far the superior tour for the home itself and furnishings within and should be on your list as an example of 'peak Savannah'.
Greetings from the Andrew Low House Museum. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your tour with us and Steve. We will certainly pass on your compliments to him and thank you for visiting us. Enjoy the rest of your visit in Savannah and safe travels home.
Worthwhile to visit. Beautiful home with history . Learned alot about the family and furnishings. Nice
We are so happy you enjoyed your tour with us. Thank you so much for the kind words and safe travels back home.
Our day time tour guide was wonderful. Lots of history, beautiful home. We went back during a ghost tour and it's a different feel.
We went today and used our $30 TripAdvisor app cash . Thank U . 2 warnings - no public bathroom available for 45 minutes - hour tour and steep stairs ! Frank was SO knowledgeable and gracious. We learned a great deal about Low - Gordon families ! He talked wood, trim production, metal fabrication with my Construction/Woody husband ! Discussed a lot about health , high mortality of Mothers & Babes , Women's Rights & dangerous fashion & finances with me ! The house is gorgeous and mostly original . We learned about the black couple who served their families for decades and were freed and the Lady cook was even given Annual gift of $300 /annually in Andrew's Will !! Amazing ! Go see it ! SO worth it !!
Such a beautiful home filled with so much of Savannah’s rich history. Tour guide was amazing. We were able to ask questions and never felt rushed during our tour. Will visit again. A must see!
I think our docent’s name was Steve. He did an excellent job. The one hour tour was very informative. According to Steve about 1/3 of the furnishings belonged to the family and 1/3 were from the same time period and I don’t remember what he said about the other 1/3!! I recommend this tour however this is the only one we did in Savannah.
So glad you enjoyed your tour with Steve. He’s fabulous! We will certainly pass on your compliments to him. You picked a good one to visit. The Andrew Low House is one of two that has been preserved not restored. You truly feel like you’re stepping back in time. Definitely a treasure. Thank you for visiting us while in Savannah and safe travels!
The house’s history and the tie to the Girl Scouts was interesting to learn about. However, there were parts of the house that would have been intriguing to see but they were turned into offices instead. The parts you were shown were cool, but I feel there was a lot left to see.
Dear Theresa, Thank you for your recent visit to the Andrew Low House Museum. I am so happy you enjoyed your tour with us. The three story home's basement level of the house was once the working part of the home and still is today. Today this is where our administrative offices are and collection files are located. Not as exciting as the main part of the home where about 35% of the collection is original to the family and filled with so much history. If you are still in the area though and would like to take a peek, I will be happy to do this for you. Safe travels home and thank you again for visiting us. Ginger Varner Sales & Marketing Manager
