Historic Philbrick-Eastman House


Philbrick-Eastman House

17 West McDonough Street
Chippewa Square

The Philbrick-Eastman House is best known for its iron fence with mediallions of prominent men. This is part of the same ironwork that surrounds the fountain in front of the Cotton Exchange building on Bay Street.

Although construction of this Greek revival mansion was started in 1844 for Moses Eastman, a local silversmith, it was not completed until 1847 – for John Stoddard. Built by Irish-born architect, Charles B. Cluskey, the home features the Doric columns so common in his designs. The third story was added in 1911.

This elegant home has been home to a number of distinguished Savannah families and is currently in private hands.
