The Richardson-Owens-Thomas House was designed by architect William Jay in the early 1800s. Marquis de Lafayette, a friend of Washington and a defender of American liberty, was the guest of the City of Savannah there from March 19 to 21, 1825. In 1776, writing to Silas Deane from Paris, France, Lafayette declared his ardor for the American cause and his intention to purchase a ship to carry out officers, adding that it was necessary to show confidence in the future and that in the hour of danger he loved to share their fortune.
