N.B. Nicholas Ware, a prominent Georgia businessman and politician, built his mansion on the outskirts of Augusta in 1818. The cost of construction – over $40,000 – was outrageous for the time period, leading to the saying "Ware's Folly." Today the home is occupied by the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art.
