Museum Rental: Owens-Thomas House

Also a National Historic Landmark building designed by William Jay, the Owens-Thomas House is considered the finest example of English Regency Style architecture in the United States. It is an elegant mansion and house museum featuring a carriage house and an inviting parterre garden that is ideally suited for late afternoon and evening events alfresco.

Located on Oglethorpe Square in the historic district, the east façade of the Owens-Thomas House has a handsome porch overlooking the garden from which musicians can entertain guests. The garden fountain is a perfect spot for photographs and there is ample room for bar and food service tables.

The lovely parterre garden of the Telfair's Owens-Thomas House is a wonderful location for outdoor cocktail parties and receptions for up to 100 guests, or even a small wedding ceremony.

The garden is situated between the Owens-Thomas House mansion and the historically significant carriage house, and is bordered by a high wall providing security and controlled access. The central fountain is a perfect place for photographs with uniquely Savannah backgrounds, and a broad porch overlooking the garden can accommodate four to six musicians.

Please contact Anne Bone at 912.790.8879 or rent_the@telfair.org to discuss rates and availability for the Owens-Thomas House garden.

Please note:
The Telfair Museum of Art does not provide event planning services, but can refer interested parties to planners, caterers, florists, musicians, and equipment rental companies.
