This house, one of the few to survive the great fire of 1820, was moved to its present address by antique dealer Jim Williams who later was tried three times for the murder of an associate.

The house has been the center of many stories including the tradition that a sailor hung himself in one of the rooms during a period when the place was a boarding house. When Williams restored the house in the 1960's, he moved it to St. Julian Street from its original location and a worker was killed when a neighboring house collapsed. Workmen and Williams friends and neighbors reported strange happenings and an exorcism was performed by a bishop of the Episcopal dicocese of Savannah on Dec. 7, 1963. --back to Stories
