Eleazer Early
Eleazer Early (1779 – June 29, 1840) was an American hotelier. In 1821, he built the first hotel in Savannah, Georgia, to a design by noted architect William Jay. In 1984, the significance of the building was recognized by the Historical American Buildings Survey. That same year, architectural students of the Savannah College of Art and Design determined that Jay was the building's architect.
