Built for businessmen Irwin S. Tiedeman and George W. Tiedeman (who later served three terms as Savannah’s mayor), this prominent double house celebrates architect Eichberg’s skills in using brick, terra-cotta, and granite as decorative mediums to create many different surface textures and patterns. Additional variety comes from contrasting corner towers and an assortment of chimney turrets enlivening the skyline.
