The John Ash House is a building in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Standing at 114–116 West Hull Street, it is located in the northeastern residential block of Orleans Square and was built in 1817.[1][2] Built as a home for John Ash, a farmer who became a judge and member of the first Alabama Senate, it is now part of the Savannah Historic District and is the oldest building in Orleans Square.[1]
In a survey for Historic Savannah Foundation, Mary Lane Morrison found the building to be of significant status and rated as "exceptional."[3][4] It was documented by the Historical American Building Survey in the mid-20th century, when its significance was noted due to being a "good example of Federal, Adamesque style."[5]
