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.
