Hamilton
Turner Inn

Savannah, GA



Impressive in workmanship and size, the park-side mansion was built in 1873 for a successful businessman and prominent Savannah citizen and alderman. The mansion soon became a favorite gathering place for Savannah’s social elite. In 1883, the first electric lights in the city were installed in the main salon. By 1886, the entire structure was fitted with electric lights.



In 1898, a fire destroyed many of Savannah’s historic buildings and fine residences. Protected by its tin roof, the Hamilton mansion and all of the homes on Lafayette Square survived the fire due to their heat resistant roofing.

In 1915, Dr. Francis Turner purchased the house from the Hamilton estate. He and his family sold it to the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in 1965. The Cathedral planned to demolish the property and turn it into playground. The Historic Savannah Association intervened and saved it from destruction.

Over the next thirty years the Hamilton-Turner Apartment House had several owners and managers. Perhaps the most notorious was Joe Odom whose raucous parties were made famous through the John Brendt book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

The Hamilton-Turner mansion was converted into a bed and breakfast in 1997. The current owners purchased it in 2005.
