MissionGalFoodFan | Feb 17, 2020The Davenport House is by far the most unique home I visited in Savannah's Historic District. While it's exterior is in the Federalist style, the interior has a mix of both Georgian and Revival...
MaryA7447 | Feb 16, 2020Women are very knowledgeable, give you future plans for the home. Many changes coming! Is worth the price of admission!
jalday | Feb 12, 2020The tour was nice and we learned a lot about the people and the time period when it was used as a residence. It has been restored/maintained in the décor of the time period.
