Rectangular two-story stuccoed brick townhouse with attic and basement and flat roof, featuring an entrance portico supported by Corinthian columns. Some of the marble mantels have mythological scenes on the center panel by John Frazee. The mantel in the west wing is from the Belcher-Hunter House, a gift of Thomas P. Saffold and Mrs. B. F. Bullard. Built for Alexander Telfair in 1820, it remained in the Telfair family until 1875, when it was bequeathed to the Georgia Historical Society to be opened as a public museum. Detlef Lienau was the restoration architect for the enlargement in 1880. Among the oldest museums in the Southeast, it opened as a free art museum in 1886, and houses an important collection of paintings, including colonial and Federal portraits.
