The SCAD Museum of Art was founded in 2002 as part of the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia, and originally was known as the Earle W. Newton Center for British American Studies. The museum's permanent collection of more than 4,500 pieces includes works of haute couture, drawings, painting, sculpture, photography, prints and more. The SCAD Museum of Art is a teaching museum, serving Savannah College of Art and Design students and as well as members of the community and other visitors. A focal point is the Walter O. Evans Center for African American Studies, a multidisciplinary center for the study, understanding and appreciation of African American culture, art and literature. It is complemented by the new André Leon Talley Gallery, named for the Vogue contributing editor and SCAD Board of Trustees member. On Oct. 29, 2011, the SCAD museum opened its doors to a new era, unveiling the most extensive rehabilitation project the university has undertaken since its inception. The revitalized museum features new galleries and classrooms, a 250-seat theater, a terrace and outdoor projection screen, a conservation studio, a museum café, as well as a 12-foot-long orientation touch table. An 86-foot-tall steel and glass lantern welcomes visitors and elegantly redefines the Savannah city skyline.

Bulloch–Habersham House
Bulloch–Habersham House

The Bulloch–Habersham House (originally the Archibald Bulloch House) was a mansion in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Completed in 1820, to a design by noted architect William Jay, it stood at the corner of Barnard Street and West Perry Street, in the southwestern trust lot of Orleans Square, until its demolition in 1916. It was replaced by what is now Savannah Civic Center. Historian John D. Duncan described the building's demise as "one of the worst cases of metropolitan malfeasance to be documented in an era when the preservation movement was just beginning to gain attention."In 1819, during the building's construction, Jay was fined $30 for obstructing Barnard Street.Originally the home of Archibald Stobo Bulloch Jr. (whose father was Georgia's first non-royal head of state), the home contained several pieces of furniture by New York City cabinetmaker Charles-Honoré Lannuier. Savannah's great fire of 1820 decimated Bulloch's fortune, and he was forced to sell his family's home to John Morel and David Leion. Morel and Leion converted the mansion into a boarding house. In 1834, it was purchased by Robert Habersham, a Savannah merchant and planter. After Habersham's death in 1870, it passed to his son, William Neyle Habersham. The home was maintained by Habersham's heirs until 1905, six years after William's death. In 1915, it was purchased by the City of Savannah, shortly after which it was demolished. The house had a broad central hall with two 20-foot wide rooms on each side, a circular domed drawing room, a spiral staircase cantilevered within a circle of six Corinthian columns, unusual tripartite windows on the main floor, and a double drawing room with Corinthian and Ionic column screens. A figural mantel in the style of Richard Westmacott Jr., graced the north-east drawing room, and carved Egyptian masks were part of the decorative vocabulary.Habersham Memorial Hall, in Atlanta, Georgia, was designed to replicate the home. It was completed in 1923.
