Aperçu
The Andrew Low House can be seen by docent led tours, which depart at 30 minute intervals (on the hour and half hour) every day. Tours discuss the history of the house and the Low family, showing how a wealthy family in Savannah would have lived in the 19th century.
The home was built in 1848-1849 by architect John S Norris a notable architect from New York and designed in the Greek Revival style, with a mixture of Revival and Italianate details. The home occupies the entire southwest trust lot fronting on Lafayette Square.
The Andrew Low House has one of the few surviving original gardens created in 19th-century Savannah, and the only one open to the public. The design of the parterre gardens dates from the mid century, shortly after the completion of the house. Their layout and planting plans have been preserved ever since, first by the Low family and later by the National Society of The Colonial Dames of America, the current owners of the house

Une visite de la charmante Savannah ne serait pas complète sans une visite guidée de 40 minutes de l'historique Andrew Low House. Ce manoir à l'italienne a été construit pour le riche marchand de coton Andrew Low par John Norris, un architecte recherché de New York. Le fils d'Andrew Low, William, et Juliette Gordon Low, la célèbre fondatrice des Girl Scouts of the USA, ont hérité de la maison après son décès. Les invités feront l'expérience d'une visite guidée par des guides expérimentés qui partent environ toutes les 30 minutes (à l'heure et à la demi-heure) tous les jours. Les visites discutent de l'histoire de la maison et de la famille Low, montrant comment ils vivaient au XIXe siècle ainsi que les esclaves qui vivaient et travaillaient à la maison. Les pièces du premier étage comprennent les salons formels et informels de la famille, la bibliothèque et la salle à manger. À l'étage se trouvent une salle de jeux pour enfants et une salle de bains intérieure rare pour l'époque, ainsi que des chambres, dont deux étaient autrefois occupées par des invités notables de la famille.

In September this year of course we visted the Low house. We went into the livingroom. As the group was leaving i decided to quickly take a picture of myself in the mirror there. After our vacation i reviewed my pictures. Lordy be....behind me looking CLOSE over my shoulder was a lady entity standing on my right hand side. Leaning on me couriously looking into the 'cell phone'. In the meantime i have contacted the museum manager in hopes that they can tell me what Low family it could be who's spirit is still there. They are checking the cameras. Again, the group of ladies were leaving the room and i wouldn't think that some stranger in the tour group is going to lean over me like that. I showed the picture to a known 'medium' here in germany where i live and said "oh my, there's alot of energy there". 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🤔Low's first wife who died young in the house?

This is the BEST house to tour in Savannah. Our guide actually teaches how to give tours and focuses on museums. This house has connections to the Girl Scouts as well. It is furnished with items that the Colonial Dames acquired. Further, the portrait of the lady as you first walk in is a viral story how a man called and told the household about it being up for auction. Luckily, the household and Colonial Dames raised enough money and got the picture to put back in its original home.

This tour is underrated. Really well done by our excellent tour guide, and in my opinion, better than the Davenport House, which has more notoriety
