United States, Georgia, Chatham County, Savannah, 32.08354, -81.09983Owens, Hubert B.1968-06Located at: 7601 Skidaway Road, Isle of Hope, Ga.Built in 1907 in the Classical Revival tradition, the stuccoed brick building features a portico with entablature supported by Ionic columns. The library is separate from the plantation house. Wormsloe Plantation was established in 1736 by Noble Jones, one of the 14 colonists who came to Georgia with General James E. Oglethorpe, built a fortified house and cultivated the land. The vestiges of the house, constructed in 1739-45, are all that remain architecturally in Savannah of Georgia's first decade. The Wormsloe Plantation Library once housed what is the most complete collection of manuscript and printed materials relating to the early history of Georgia. Acquired by the University of Georgia in 1938 from the De Renne family, the Wymberly Jones De Renne Georgia Library contains ten to fifteen thousand pieces. Begun in 1880, the collection consists of materials dating from Georgia's existence as a colony until the 1930s.Slide annotated: "Wormsloe Library Savannah, Ga."Date of structure: 1907.image/jpeghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Classical RevivalBrickStuccoPlasterCoating (material)Libraries (buildings)Architecture--Georgia--SavannahArchitecture--Georgia--Chatham CountyLibrary (Wormsloe Plantation, Isle of Hope, Ga.)StillImage
