Architect John S. Norris designed this Gothic Revival mansion for Charles Green. The cotton merchant’s home was finished in 1861. For a few months in 1864 and 1865, Green lent his home to General William Sherman while his Union troops crushed the Confederates in Georgia and the Carolinas. These victories hastened the end of the Civil War in 1865. In 1892, the residence was purchased by Judge Peter Meldrim. This U. S. National Historic Landmark is available for tours.
