Gertrude Herbert
Institute of Art
506 Telfair Street (706-722-5495). This Federal style house was built in 1818 for Augusta mayor Nicholas Ware. Because of the cost, $40,000, and unique design, the structure came to be known as "Ware's Folly." It now serves as the home of the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art, a center for art classes and changing art exhibitions. Tuesday-Friday, 10:00 to 5:00; Saturday 10:00 to 2:00; closed Sunday. Admission fee. (NR)
