The Herb House is a historic building located in downtown Savannah, Georgia, United States. Some sources claim it to be built in the 18th century (1733 or 1734),[1] which would have made it the oldest extant building in the state of Georgia;[2][3] however, its construction in local handmade brick[4] puts this in doubt. Other sources give a construction year of 1853,[5] which is the first year it appears on a map. The building is now part of the restaurant Pirates' House, the buildings for which both pre- (1794) and post-date (1871) it.[5]
