The majestic historic Lucas Theatre opened in 1921 to a sold-out viewing of the film "Camille."

Designed by architect C. K. Howell for Arthur M. Lucas, a leading theatre entrepreneur, the four-story terra cotta, concrete and steel building was originally designed for silent movies and vaudeville performances. The ornate exterior is matched by an elegant interior in the Adamesque style, with Italian marble stairways, Wedgewood inspired colors and gold leaf accents, all restored to their original beauty. A 40-foot wide ceiling dome greatly adds to the splendor of the building.
In 1851, businesswoman Mary Marshall, noting that Savannah was woefully in need of visitor accommodations, built the four-story Marshall House Hotel. It served as a hospital for soldiers during the Civil War. It was also home to Joel Chandler Harris, author of the famous Uncle Remus stories. By 1956, the hotel had closed and the first floor was used for businesses.  In 1999, $12 million was invested in its spectacular restoration.

Mary Leaver Marshall, the original proprietor of The Marshall House, was the daughter of Gabriel Leaver, a French cabinetmaker with a shrewd vision for developing Savannah's land.

The Hotel has its original staircases (some of the spindles and gingerbread have been recreated), original wood floors, fireplaces, brick walls, and the doors to each guest room are original as well. The Atrium was the courtyard and has been encased with a glass ceiling to give the sensation of what once was. The artifacts displayed on floors two and three were found during the renovation.
Georgia Historical Records show that this building, built in 1853 for the Central Railroad & Bank was confiscated by General William T. Sherman's Union Army Forces as the military headquarters of the post commandant, General J. W. Geary during the occupation of Savannah.
