Biographical/Historical Note
The Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences Architectural Records Committee was established in 1945 to prepared measured drawings of historic houses in Savannah, to obtain as many existing original plans or measured drawings of early houses as possible, and to collect as many photographs as possible of early houses. The Committee collected some original architectural plans, prepared measured drawings of others, and obtained copies of some of the measured drawing of Savannah buildings which had been prepared by the Historic American Buildings Survey. Some of these architectural plans were later given to the Georgia Historical Society by the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences and are now in the former's collection of architectural surveys.
