Fodor's Expert Review Alex Raskin Antiques

This shop is inside the four-story Noble Hardee Mansion, a gilded Italianate home. You can wander through almost all 12,000 square feet of the former grand residence and see how the landed gentry once lived. The building is a bit musty, with peeling wallpaper and patches of leaky ceiling, showcasing the fading grandeur of pre-restoration Savannah mansions, but the antiques within are in great condition and represent a colorful scrapbook of Savannah's past. They specialize in furniture, rugs, and paintings, but take note of more rare artifacts like tramp-art frames and antique doll furniture. Take in the view of Forsyth Park from one of the upper-level porches.

The building lacks air-conditioning, so avoid the heat of midday or bring along a fan.
