The Foley House Inn Savannah bed and breakfast consists of two of Savannah's fine old town houses situated in the center of Savannah's Historic District on quiet and peaceful, Chippewa Square.

Of the two adjoining houses that comprise the inn, Dr. Lewis Knoor built one in 1868 and Honoria Foley, the widow of a wealthy Irish immigrant, Owen Foley, completed the other in 1896. Owen and Honoria Foley married on January 12, 1850. He was 40 years old and she was 20 years old. They had two children, Francis born November 1851 and Catherine born 1853. Owen died suddenly in 1855, leaving Honoria, Francis and Catherine quite a sizable estate. However, due to the turmoil in the South after the Civil War, Mr. Foley's assets were frozen for twenty years. During this time his widow, by necessity, became an innkeeper, taking in lodgers to make ends meet. Thus, Honoria Foley became the first Foley House Innkeeper and the Foley House Inn the first Savannah bed and breakfast.

In 1894 Honoria decided she needed more living space. She chose lot#24 of the Brown Ward Section where the ruins of the former 1820 home of James Blois had stood until destroyed in the Great Savannah Fire of 1889. In 1896 the ruins were replaced by the new home of Honoria Foley and today, the house is one of Savannah's premiere bed and breakfast inns, offering a taste of the gracious living enjoyed in the past by the wealthy of Old Savannah.

Mrs. Foley lived at 14 West Hull Street along with her widowed son-in-law, Captain James McIntire, and her five grandchildren, until her death in 1914. At the stately age of 83, Honoria Kirby Foley died of heart failure in the early morning hours of September 6, 1914, peacefully in her sleep.

Now completely restored in every detail, The Foley House Inn Savannah bed and breakfast opened its doors as a B&B Inn in 1982. The guest rooms and public areas are today furnished with a selection of fine antique and period furniture, silver, Oriental rugs, and beautiful paintings that appeal to discriminating guests with a taste for the special things in life, as well as a reverence for the past. In 2006 current innkeepers Allisen & Grant Rogers purchased the Inn and continue to make improvements while honoring the history and prestige of these two beautiful mansions.

The Foley House Inn Savannah bed and breakfast stands as a lasting symbol of graciousness and beauty of Old Savannah and exemplifies the elegance of a glorious past. Most of all, it symbolizes the grace and elegance of a special lady, whose time-honored vigilance as gracious hostess and innkeeper are faithfully assumed by the current owners and their exceptional staff.
