The Stephen Williams House Review

Although named for its builder, this house was constructed for the honorable Mayor (six terms) William Thorn Williams in 1834. This wonderful Federal-style mansion is now owned by an equally exceptional retired physician, Dr. Albert Wall. Savannah-born, an inveterate storyteller, lover of history, antique collector, and survivor of seven historic preservation projects, he was determined to save this house, which had become one sad derelict. The sumptuous suite has an entirely separate parlor and a draped bed. The less expensive garden rooms, which share a bath, are characterized by beamed ceilings and exposed brick walls, and open out to the restored garden and walled courtyard with its lion's head fountain. Dr. Wall has a deep affection for his city, and as he pours morning coffee for his guests, he suggests his favorite things in Savannah for them to do and can arrange for bicycles to be delivered. The hotel is a superb wedding venue.
