The Marshall - Named after an iconic structure on Broughton Street, the Marshall House is known for its haunted history and its time as a hospital during the Civil War. Some visitors only stay in this haunting hotel to experience things that go bump in the night. The Marshall was originally built in 1851 by Mary and James Marshall, but a renovation in 1999 gave us the Marshall House we know and lo
ve today. The Davenport - This elegant, artistically decorated tower takes its name from the 1820 Federal-style home constructed by an upwardly mobile artisan Isaiah Davenport for himself, his wife and their ten children. Upon his death, Isaiah's wife, Sarah, converted the home into a boarding house and ran it until 1840. The once stately home fell into disrepair until 1955 when a group of community-spirited residents came together and bought the home. This purchase was the first official act of the Historic Savannah Foundation. The Davenport House became their office and later had its first floor opened as a museum. After the Historic Savannah Foundation moved to new headquarters, the Davenport began a re-restoration process to create a more authentic museum experience that you can still visit today.
