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.[1] That same year, architectural students of the Savannah College of Art and Design determined that Jay was the building's architect.[1]
Early later became the second librarian of the United States House of Representatives.
