Andrew Low was the father-in-law of Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the Girls Scouts of the USA, and he inherited the adjacent house at 329 Abercorn Street when his uncle died.[2]

The house served as the headquarters for the Girl Scouts until 1913. Low left the carriage house to the Savannah Area Girl Scout Council when she died in 1927; the Girl Scouts used the building until 1986.[2]

The building was purchased by the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in Georgia in 1928, after Low died. The society uses it as its state headquarters.[2]
