Green-Meldrim House

The Green-Meldrim House is a historic house located in Savannah, Georgia. It is located at 14 West Macon Street, on the northwest corner of Madison Square〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Savannah, GA - Official Website )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Madison Square )〕 and was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1976.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lists of National Historic Landmarks )〕〔http://tps.cr.nps.gov/nhl/detail.cfm?ResourceId=1429&ResourceType=Building〕
==History==

The house was designed and built between 1853 and 1861 at a cost of $93,000 by the architect John Norris.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Norris, John S. (1804-1876) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Norris (1804-1876) )〕 The property's first owner was Charles Green, a wealthy cotton merchant and grandfather of the writer Julien Green.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Julien Green (1900-1998) )
At this time, none of the original furniture is on display at the house. After the Union troops captured Savannah in 1864, Sherman occupied the house and used it as a headquarters until the end of the Civil War.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Green-Meldrim House )〕 It was in this house in December 1864 that Sherman composed his famous telegram to President Lincoln, in which he communicated his desire to present to the President "as a Christmas Gift the City of Savannah, with one hundred and fifty heavy guns and plenty of ammunition, and also about twenty-five thousand bales of cotton"; the cotton belonged to Charles Green, the owner of the House.〔http://www.stjohnssav.org/green_meldrim/history/〕 In 1892, local politician and judge Peter Meldrim purchased the property and lived in it a number of decades.〔Polk’s Savannah City Directories〕 In 1943, his heirs sold the house to St John's Church, which is located next door. Tours of the house are given during the day, and the church uses it for wedding receptions and after-church events.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Green Meldrim House )
