Comer House is a large, Victorian residence on Monterey Square in Savannah's Historic District. It has two separate guest quarters: a studio apartment on the first floor of the residence and entered from the courtyard and a two-story carriage house at the rear of the property. They are available for stays of two or more or three or more days throughout the year. Both apartments have private parking in the rear courtyard. The walled gardens that enclose the property provide privacy for the guests to wander or sit near one of the fountains, secluded from the Monterey Square neighborhood's life of nineteenth century homes, international art school, antique shops, and interesting restaurants...yet only a few minutes walk to the nightlife and activity of City Market and River Street. The studio apartment consists of three rooms: a large bedroom/sitting room combined looking on to the courtyard, a wet bar, and a full bath. It is furnished with antiques and fine art. Two adults are comfortable here. The carriage house is suitable for two adults. Fully furnished, it has an open-plan beamed kitchen and sitting area and a half bath downstairs. Upstairs, overlooking the gardens, there is a master bedroom, a sitting room with a daybed, and a large bathroom with laundry facilities. It is ideal for longer stays. Both apartments are self-catering, stocked upon arrival with everything you will need for your stay. They are nonsmoking.

In late April of 1886, the State of Alabama was preparing to lay the cornerstone of a monument to its Confederate dead at the Capitol in Montgomery, close to the spot where Jefferson Davis had been sworn in as the Provisional President of the Confederacy. Mr. Davis had been invited as the guest of honor at the ceremony. When it was announced that the ex-President would make a public appearance in Montgomery, other cities, including Charleston and Richmond, clamored for a visit of honor. Atlanta wanted him to attend the unveiling of a statue to the late Senator Benjamin H. Hill, who had been Davis's ever loyal friend and advocate. Henry W. Grady, golden-tongued orator and a leader of the New South, promised a special train to fetch him to Atlanta. Savannah begged him to speak at the unveiling of a monument to Nathanael Greene, the Revolutionary hero from Rhode Island who had spent the last years of his life in Georgia. Davis finally accepted the Atlanta and Savannah invitations. He regarded Hill as the best of the Georgians and his father had fought under General Greene, who was somehow related to Davis's mother Jane Cook.
