Built in 1856, Savannah's Historic Flannery O'Connor Childhood Home was the birthplace and childhood home of Flannery O'Connor, one of the country's outstanding writers. Born Mary Flannery O'Connor in 1925, Flannery lived in the house, then a modest one-story home until 1938. Flannery's childhood was spent in the Lafayette Square house just one block over from St. John the Baptist Cathedral which provided the cornerstone of her Catholic faith. She once called Savannah "a colony of the Over-Irish" and her ancestry included two of Georgia's oldest Catholic families, the O'Connors of Savannah and the Clines of middle Georgia (her Mother's side). She died of lupus erythematosus when she was only 39, the same disease that had claimed her father in 1941.
