The Hermitage, Savannah, Ga., 1907 Oct 15, c1907. The Hermitage Plantation house was built c1825 for Henry McAlpin and his wife, Ellen McInnis. The enslaved people on the plantation manufactured bricks and cultivated cotton. In 1865, the Union Army used it as their headquarters when much of the expensive furniture was burned for firewood. The building was later deserted, and in 1934 car manufacturer Henry Ford demolished it and removed it bricks to Richmond Hill where he reused them to build the mansion at the Ford Plantation.
