AWARD SPOTLIGHT
Elizabeth Mirault House
The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation Excellence in Rehabilitation Awards recognize projects that make compatible use of a building through repair, alterations or additions while preserving features of the property that convey its historic value.
The Elizabeth Mirault House was built circa 1861 in Savannah’s Beach Institute neighborhood. After a number of years of deterioration and insensitive additions, a complete rehabilitation was initiated in 2020.
All original features and materials were repaired or replaced in-kind, including the brick foundation, wood siding, windows, interior plaster and floors. The project received state and federal historic tax credits and now highlights the character of this contributing house in Savannah’s Historic Landmark District.
