Original – The Entrance Hall of the Green-Meldrim House in 1864, when it was being used as General Sherman's Headquarters.
Reason
There was a previous nomination back in 2012, but I don't understand the arguments. William Waud was an artist hired to document the American Civil War. There's no photographs of Sherman's occupancy of the Green-Meldrim House (or I'm horribly mistaken), but we have on-the-spot documentation of the most important event to happen there. I can't see how that isn't exceptionally valuable.
