Title: Noble Hardee House (Savannah, Ga.)
Date: 1983 Sept.
Description: Located at: 3 West Gordon Street, Savannah, Ga.

Two-story stuccoed masonry house with attic and high basement, featuring a cast iron balcony and balustrade and gold painted outer frames on windows. Now a residence and antiques shop at the corner of Bull and Gordon with a view of Monterey Square. President Chester A. Arthur visited his relative Henry Botts here. Initially a double house, it was begun in 1860 by Noble Hardee, who died prior to its completion in 1869, after the Civil War. The original design of the house is gradually being restored as later additions are removed. It was part of Armstrong Junior College in the 1940s. One of a handful of buildings designated exceptional by the Historic Savannah Foundation, the house features 15 fireplaces and exquisite plaster details. The color of stucco used appears to have changed from grey to pink during restoration.

Date of structure: 1860.
