The Green–Meldrim House is a historic house at 14 West Macon Street, on the northwest corner of Madison Square, in Savannah, Georgia. Built in 1853, it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976. The house is owned by the adjacent St. John's Church, which offers tours and uses it as a meeting and reception space. This 1864 sketch by William Waud depicts the entrance hall of the Green–Meldrim House, which was then in use by General William Tecumseh Sherman as his headquarters during the American Civil War. Waud's illustration was adapted into an engraving for the January 21, 1865, issue of Harper's Weekly.Illustration credit: William Waud; restored by Adam Cuerden
