The Eppinger House is a building located at 110 East Oglethorpe Avenue in Savannah, Georgia, United States. It is believed to be the oldest intact brick structure in Georgia, dating to or before 1776.[1] In a survey for Historic Savannah Foundation, Mary Lane Morrison found the building to be of significant status.[2] Originally two storeys, built by John Eppinger Sr.,[3] its upper level was added in 1876.

The building was known as Eppinger's Inn, owned by a son of John Eppinger,[4] in its early life, and was a popular meeting place for Colonial statesmen. Revolutionary patriots closed it due to the owner's Tory support.[1]

In January 1784,[5] after the British had left Savannah, the Georgia Legislature held its first meeting in the second-floor Long Room.[1][6]

It later became the home of American Revolutionary War brigadier general Lachlan McIntosh.[1]
