Lissner House, ca. 1907

The adaptive use of this home shows governmental sensitivity to historic preservation. Built by J. J. Lissner, the house exhibits strong Prairie influences including a massive porch, use of natural materials as Ludowici roof tiles (manufactured in nearby Ludowici, Ga.), and a floor-to-ceiling granite fireplace in the living room. This home is one of the few in Brunswick to have a partial basement, and the only residence to be equipped with an elevator.
