The Spencer–Woodbridge House (also known as the George Basil Spencer House) is a home in Savannah, Georgia, United States.[1] It is located in the northeastern civic block of Warren Square and was built in 1790, making it the oldest building on the square and one of the oldest in Savannah overall.[2][3] It is part of the Savannah Historic District,[2][4] and was built for George Basil Spencer, though he died in February 1791.[5] It also became the homes of William H. Spencer (believed to have built the house) until 1817 and William Woodbridge, who bought it from Spencer.[5][6] It remained in the Woodbridge family until 1911.[7]
