Savannah Antiques & Architecture Weekend
Preservation is Fun!
March 12 – 13, 2021
Our 2021 events celebrate the impact of historic preservation on the city of Savannah from its architecture to its decorating and entertaining traditions. We feature an exclusive virtual tour of a private historic home with the owners and the designer.
Carleton Varney returns for two seated presentations on preserving traditions in design and entertaining. Varney serves on the White House Historic Preservation Council.
The National Society of The Colonial Dames in the State of Georgia, a 501c3 non-profit organization, presents this event to benefit the Andrew Low House Museum and historic Green-Meldrim House.

Private Doors of a Savannah Home Open for You
Welcome to the stunning 1880’s home off Monterey Square, lovingly restored for the 21st Century by owners John O. Morisano, owner of the James Beard award-winning Savannah restaurant, The Grey, and his wife, Carol Sawdye. They commissioned the world-famous Savannah-based designer Chuck Chewning who is renowned for his work transforming Venice’s Gritti Palace and The Armstrong-Kessler Mansion. The three will offer an intimate tour of the project together demonstrating that no matter how challenging historic preservation may be, it is fun!
This home was featured in Elle Decor in 2019. Read here.
