Introduction

The Owens-Thomas House is one of Savannah's finest Regency-era mansions, built in 1819 by English architect William Jay. Its interiors keep Victorian furniture and decorative arts, and the rear yard preserves one of the few surviving urban slave quarters in North America — a dual window onto 19th-century Savannah high society and the history of slavery.
