- Description:
- Postcard (color, divided back, 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches) titled "Savannah, Ga., Gen. Sherman's Headquarters in his "March to the Sea"" The Green-Meldrim House is an example of Gothic Revival architecture in the South. The house was constructed in the early 1850s as the residence of Mr. Charles Green, an Englishman who came to Savannah in 1833. In December 1864, upon the invitation of Mr. Green, General William Tecumseh Sherman used the house as his headquarters when the Federal army occupied Savannah during the U.S. Civil War. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976 by the United States Department of the Interior. In 1943, the owners sold the house to adjacent St. John’s Church (Episcopal). The house now serves as St. John’s parish house. No descriptive text on reverse.
