Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters Details
This historic house is one of the finest examples of English Regency architecture not just in Georgia but in the entire country. It was built between 1816 and 1819 by English architect William Jay and bought by local politician George Welshman Owens (after which the house is named). During your visit, you can see period furnishings and decor that were used by Owens and his family, including exotic textiles, Chinese porcelain, and 18th-century artwork. There is also a separate carriage house on-site that was used by enslaved workers who worked on the property. It is considered one of the best-preserved urban slave quarters in the south.
