Exterior of the Owens-Thomas House, from the back garden, Savannah, GA.
The Marquis de Lafayette stayed in the home, then a boarding house, in 1825. The visit was part of Lafayette’s tour of America, to commemorate the nation’s upcoming fiftieth anniversary. Lafayette, the last living French General from the American Revolution, addressed the people of Savannah from the home’s cast-iron balcony (not pictured).
