The Armstrong House was interesting to walk by as it looks unlike any of the other buildings we viewed. At one time it was Armstrong Junior College, founded in the early 1930's to be "the finest and most costly junior college in the South." Armstrong University is now located on the other side of Savannah having outgrown the Armstrong House some time ago. The Armstrong House is on "The Book Tour" as it once housed the antiques of Jim Williams, the man who has four murder trials profiled in the Midnight book. Across the street is the exclusive (and very private) Oglethorpe Club which is also on "The Book Tour." That building was once used by Northern officers as a headquarters during the American Civil War.
