Lillibridge died at Shandy Hall, near Savannah, on February 14, 1801,[3] after contracting yellow fever. His widowed second wife, Anna Orford,[4] sold the house, at which point it became a boarding house.[5]
It is one of Savannah's few clapboard houses to have survived the fire of 1820.[6]
The home originally stood at 310 East Bryan Street,[7][8] about 600 feet (180 m) away, in the northwestern residential lot of the adjacent Warren Square. The property was bought by James Arthur Williams in 1969. Believing the house to be haunted, Williams had it exorcised.[9] He moved it to its current location and restored it.[5]
