About us
Historic Savannah Foundation is a private, non-profit historic preservation organization supported by a dedicated membership of over 700. The mission of Historic Savannah Foundation (HSF) is to preserve and protect Savannah’s heritage through advocacy, education and community involvement. HSF was established in 1955 to save the 1820 Isaiah Davenport House from demolition. From this initial project, we launched a Revolving Fund that has helped save more than 350 buildings. HSF has a staff of eight, an annual budget of $1 million, and a variety of outreach programs that support our mission and educate the public about the benefits of historic preservation.

706 E. Henry was constructed in 1903 as a fine example of a Free Classic version of a Queen Anne-style home. This home was acquired by HSF in 2020 as one of our Revolving Fund properties. Today, after two years of hard work by its new owners, it is back to its former glory. The property will continue to be protected in perpetuity by an HSF Preservation Easement that ensures its beauty and significance are preserved. #HistoricSavannahFoundation #Revolving Fund #HistoricPreservation #SavannahGeorgia

HSF's Director of Preservation and Historic Properties, Ryan Jarles, was featured in the 2023-24 Savannah College of Art and Design Academic Catalogue as a distinguished alumnus of the Preservation Design program. Since graduating, he has dedicated his time to the protection and preservation of our great city. Ryan says, "it was the time I spent at SCAD that cemented the love I have for the city around me, and I wouldn't be where I am today had I not gained the vital and unique education that SCAD provided me." #HistoricPreservation #SCAD #HistoricSavannahFoundation #SavannahGA #PreservationDesign
