The building was on the northwest corner of Taylor and Habersham Streets. The Savannah Poor House and Marine Hospital served for demonstrations in clinical medicine. The college was closed during the Civil War. It re-opened in 1866 and continued operating in its building until it was sold in 1871. For ten more years, lectures were held in the Savannah Hospital.
