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

Q&A

Q: Are there any age limits for the tour at Andrew Low House?

A: No age limits! The tours are suitable for all ages, but keep in mind that younger kids might get restless. If you bring little ones, just be prepared to step outside if they need a break. The house itself is also pretty spacious, so there’s room to move around.

Q: What's the best way to get to the Andrew Low House? Is parking a hassle?

A: Parking can be a bit tricky around Lafayette Square since it’s a popular area. There are meters nearby, but arrive early to grab a spot! Alternatively, rideshare services are a great option if you don’t want to deal with parking at all. Also, the house is easy to walk to from downtown.

Q: What should I wear for the tour? Any recommendations?

A: Dress comfortably! It's mostly a walking tour, and parts of the house can be a bit warm. Light layers are best, and wear comfy shoes since you’ll be on your feet for a bit. The gardens are beautiful, so if it’s nice out, maybe bring a hat or sunglasses too.

Just visited the Andrew Low House—what a gem!

I went to the Andrew Low House last week and it was amazing! The tour was super informative and the gardens were beautiful. It felt like stepping back in time! I bought tickets on the spot (which is nice because it’s free) and didn’t have any trouble finding a good parking spot nearby. Anyone else been? How did you like it?

Thinking about gifting the Andrew Low House tour!

I’m considering giving my grandparents a tour of the Andrew Low House for their anniversary. They love history and this seems perfect. Has anyone taken a tour recently? What’s the best part to highlight for them?
