Overview
The Frederick Ball Cottage, dating back to approximately 1805-1810, represents the southern half of a meticulously restored double house. This residence underwent restoration in the 1990s by Mills Lane IV of The Beehive Foundation, in collaboration with historic preservation architect Harvie Jones. The restoration aimed to authentically restore important houses while ensuring they functioned as livable residential properties, employing early 19th-century carpentry and finishing techniques wherever feasible. The house retains substantial original fittings, including rare 12 over 12 window sashes, two mantels, the staircase, an archway with a lantern hook in the front hall, woodwork, wainscoting, and pine flooring. The original floorplan was preserved, except for modifications to the southern back quadrants to accommodate a kitchen and half-bath on the first floor, and a full-bath area, washer and dryer, and a walk-in closet on the second floor. A Federal-style double-porch, typical for Savannah, was added to the back of the house during the restoration to expand the living space. The cottage includes a courtyard and off-street parking. The restoration of the three Frederick Ball houses received a 1991 Preservation Award from the Historic Savannah Foundation. The southern half of the double house is under protective covenants with The Beehive Foundation. Located on Columbia Square within Savannah’s Historic Landmark District, the Frederick Ball Houses are centrally situated within walking distance of the area. Documentation of the restorations is on file at The Beehive Foundation in Savannah, Georgia. The property has 1200 square feet and sits on a 0.049-acre lot.
