- Description:
- The Olde Pink House (also known as Habersham House) was designed by the itinerant English architect William Jay and built in 1789 for James Habersham, Jr., a wealthy Savannah merchant and planter, who lived in the house until his death in 1899. In 1912, the building became the location of Georgia's first bank, the Planter's Bank. During the 1930s and 1940s, Savannah historical preservationist Harper Fowlkes (1908-1985) ran the Georgian Tea Room in the building's basement. The building was surveyed and recorded (as Habersham House) in the United States Historic American Buildings Survey during the 1930s. Variant names include: [The Olde] Pink House, Pink House, Habersham House.
