Sorrel Weed House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sorrel Weed House, or the Francis Sorrel House, was designed by Charles Cluskey in 1835, and the home was completed in 1840. It represents one of the finest examples of Greek Revival and Regency architecture in Savannah. It was one of the first two homes in the state of Georgia to be made a state landmark in 1954.
The National Trust Guide to Historic Places makes architectural comparisons between the Sorrel Weed House, Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, and William Jay's Owens Thomas House in Savannah. Although clearly a Greek Revival house, the earlier Regency influences are prominent. The Sorrel Weed House is open for historic Savannah tours.
