marked the first time lots 15 and 16 were recorded as separate. The home was purchased in the 1960s by the Historic Savannah Foundation, which restored it and sold it to Col. Lindsey P. Henderson in 1968. Henderson continued renovations and repaired damage done to the inside of the home after a fire was set on the main floor, allegedly by derelicts. Henderson was linked to the home
by ancestry and his great interest in military history. The furniture inside the house when Henderson bought it was crafted by his great-grandfa- ther, Thomas Henderson. In addition to being an accomplished furniture maker, Thomas Henderson directed the funeral service for Francis Bartow. The home, listed by realtor Cora
Bett Thomas, is on the market today for $2.495 million. The estate in- cludes a separate carriage house that
has been converted into a two-bed- room apartment and a two-bedroom garden apartment. The eight-bed- room, 8,910-square-foot home has seven wood-burning fireplaces. The second floor is the master suite, with a sitting room, a fireplace, an oversized closet and an updated bathroom. The home has a gourmet kitchen, a separate dining room, a formal living room and a family room that opens onto the oversized porch.
The home at 126 West Harris St. offers comfortable modern living and a piece of history that has withstood the test of time. The author would like to give special thanks to Daniel Carey at the Historic Savannah Foundation and to Nora Lewis at the Georgia Historical Society for their prompt and efficient help in researching the history of the home.
The eight-bedroom home has seven wood- burning fireplaces.
The home’s large porches are reminiscent of typical Charleston, rather than Savannah, architecture.
