For the fifth consecutive year, The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Georgia is orchestrating another defining Savannah event. The Annual Savannah Antiques and Architecture Weekend is a two-day series of presentations, tours, and events dedicated to the promotion of Savannah’s robust historic preservation efforts and its best-in-class examples of American architecture and design.  The Society is a registered 501c3 organization and all proceeds from the events benefit two of the city’s nineteenth-century treasures, The Andrew Low House Museum and The Green-Meldrim House.

This year will be different due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but events will go on safely with some being held in-person and others online.  The theme, Preservation is Fun, focuses on preserving traditions in decorating, entertaining, and architecture. The weekend begins Friday with a virtual tour of the 1880s home of John O. Morisano and Carol Sawdye, lovingly restored and redesigned with the masterful expertise of designer Chuck Chewning. Chewning is renowned for his work restoring the Gritti Palace in Venice and Savannah’s Armstrong-Kessler Mansion.  On Saturday, Mr. Color, Carleton Varney, returns to Savannah for two presentations on Preservation is Fun! in the garden of the Andrew-Low House.  To help support the cause, picnic lunches to-go will be offered for pick up and the online auction will feature art, get-aways, and more.

The keynote speaker, Carleton Varney, is president and owner of Dorothy Draper & Co, Inc., and known for his work as designer for the Greenbrier, the Grand Hotel, the Colony Hotel, and countless private residences worldwide.  He was decorator to President Jimmy Carter and currently serves on the White House Council for Historic Preservation and is the author of numerous books on interior design that he will be signing during his featured events.

Event Chairman Mary Lee Stevens says, “We are excited that we are able to continue to support our work for historic preservation this year in the face of the challenges presented by COVID-19.  We continue to celebrate Savannah’s tremendous historic preservation work as a great example for other cities to follow.”
