A Virtual Tour Of The Eliza Thompson House


The Eliza Thompson House
5 East Jones Street
Savanah, Georgia 31401

Joseph Thompson, a wealthy Savannah cotton merchant and home builder,  built the Eliza Thompson House in 1847 for his wife, Eliza. It was actually the first house built on the now historic brick lined Jones Street and the first in the Monterey Ward. It was the third house built by Joseph for his lovely wife and their seven children, and was completed November 6, 1847.

The Main House was actually built in two stages. The original structure was built in 1847, with a second section, consisting of what is now the front parlor, the Chatham and the J. Stephens rooms added around 1870.
