cozy togethering place within the small elegant hotel mansion
of the Hamilton-Turner Inn. Retreat to elegant Savannah garden

bride at the Hamilton-Turner Inn, one of historic Savannah's small
elegant hotels.
Francis Muir Turner, an Osteopath, owned the house from 1922
until 1965. Mr. Turner died in 1961. His wife Bonnie lived
in the home until her death in 1965. The mansion stood vacant
from 1966 until 1977. His osteopathy offices were formerly
at 24 Jones East Street until 1940 when he moved to the mansion
where he shared an office with his home at ãLafayette Place.ä
Interesting perhaps is the fact that a ãMuirä family arrived with
Georgia 's first forty families on the Ship Ann in Savannah, 12
February, 1733. In 1965 the Catholic Diocese bought the house
and was going to demolish it until the Historic Savannah Foundation
started negotiations to save the house. The Foundation purchased
the mansion in 1969.
