Dutton–Waller Raised Tybee Cottage

The Dutton–Waller Raised Tybee Cottage is a historic gem located on Tybee Island, Georgia, near Savannah. Built in 1938, it exemplifies the architectural style of raised Tybee cottages that flourished during the island's development from 1910 to 1939, catering to middle-class families seeking summer retreats. This well-preserved cottage features original heart-pine paneling and a classic bungalow layout, with living spaces on the upper floor and servants' quarters below. It was extensively remodeled in 2006 to restore its historic character. As one of the few remaining cottages from this era, it offers a glimpse into the past amidst a backdrop of live oaks and palm trees. The cottage is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a notable attraction for visitors interested in the history and culture of Tybee Island.
