The William Scarbrough House, located in Savannah, Georgia, is a historic house built in 1819. It is nationally recognized for its Greek Revival architecture, a style that was popular in the United States during the early 19th century. The house has undergone several alterations over the years but has largely been restored to its original appearance. It is one of the few surviving works of architect William Jay, making it a significant piece of architectural history.

Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum

The William Scarbrough House is currently home to the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum. The museum features nine galleries filled with ship models, maritime paintings, and artifacts that reflect Savannah's rich maritime heritage. Among the models on display are the SS Savannah, a ship owned by William Scarbrough, and the RMS Titanic. The museum provides a unique opportunity to explore the city's maritime history and the role it played in shaping the United States.
