Situated on Madison Square, the Green-Meldrim House was built in 1850 for cotton merchant Charles Green.  In 1892 the home was purchased by Judge Peter Meldrim whose heirs later sold it to St. John’s Episcopal Church. The home’s amazing past includes a brief residency by General Sherman after he took the city in 1864.

Its Gothic-Revival style is considered to be one of the finest in the area and most expensive of its time—costing $90,000 to build. Richly decorated with oriels, filigree ironwork, black-walnut woodwork, marble mantles and other Gothic features, guests are often stunned by its magnificent style. Guided tours are offered of the house which is now used as a parish house for the church next door. Witness the elegance, beauty and history that make the Green-Meldrim House a favorite among Savannah visitors.
