The Weir-Jordan House (c. 1846) has a rich history in the city of Greensboro. This antebellum home is on the National Register of Historic Places and is one of only ten surviving structures built before 1880 in Greensboro. The original owner, Dr. David Weir, was President of the Edgeworth Female Academy (now Greensboro College) and founded the first insurance company in the city of Greensboro. Jor

dan, a businessman in to***co who served as a Guilford County sheriff, a Greensboro commissioner, and Chamber of Commerce director. The house was purchased by the Greensboro Woman’s Club in 1921 with the purpose of using the home as a clubhouse. More recently, the GWC saw an opportunity to serve the community by making the house available to the public for various functions. In 2008, the Weir-Jordan House became the home of Savory St. at the Weir-Jordan House today. With our casual elegance and Southern sense of style, we will provide an experience to be remembered by you & your guests.

We often have visitors admire our dining room fireplace and ask "What's the story behind the J?"

In 1890 James F. Jordan owned our beautiful piece of history, the Weir-Jordan House. As we all tend to do with our own homes, we update or add elements to make it our own.

Mr. Jordan was no different and added iron J's to both sides of the fireplace, proving that yes, a good monogrammed piece is truly timeless!

The Weir-Jordan House was the perfect setting for a recent Fox8 interview focused on the work of the Greensboro Woman’s Club and its 115 year impact on the community. After all, this historic house has been owned continuously by GWC since 1921. It is a small business which has been owned and operated exclusively by women since then and currently serves as an event venue open to the public. Why not support a local women-owned business when planning your next event?
