The Torrey- West Home Turns 100: Rehabilitating a “Southern Palace” on Ossabaw Island, GA

Built between 1924 and 1926, the Torrey-West House stands as one of Georgia’s most remarkable private coastal estates. As the home celebrates its centennial, this presentation explores the ambitious rehabilitation of the 20,000-square-foot residence, highlighting the unique challenges of preserving a historic home on a remote barrier island accessible only by boat. Learn how a partnership between the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and The Ossabaw Island Foundation is ensuring this architectural treasure will continue to serve educational, cultural, and scientific programs for generations to come.
