Bulloch House c.1895


Archibald Stobo Bulloch House
Orleans Square
Savannah, Georgia

This spectacular villa was built by Jay between 1818 and 1819 for prominent Savannahian Archibald Stobo Bulloch. The main staircase sprung from a circle of six Corinthian columns. The house was demolished in 1916 to make way for the Municipal Auditorium. In 1971 the space became a parking lot.

Jay also collaborated with Bulloch on the U.S. Customs House and Warehouses in 1819. But the Great Savannah Fire of January 1820 destroyed the buildings in progress and led to Bulloch's complete financial ruin in 1822.
