• Hotel De Soto (1890)
• Savannah Cotton Exchange (1886, extant) 100 E. Bay Street, Savannah GA

Charleston, WV

• Laidley-Summers-Quarrier House, 800 Orchard St. Charleston, WV Preston,William

Seems not to be mentioned in article yet?

But this was built by a stonemason named Wm Preston in 1852, while Wm G. was born in 1842, so not the same. --doncram 19:47, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

I hope this is a help not a hindrance. --doncram 19:29, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
