The John Scudder Property is a home in Savannah, Georgia, United States. It is located at 15 East Jones Street and was constructed in 1851.[1]

The building is part of the Savannah Historic District,[1] and in a survey for the Historic Savannah Foundation, Mary Lane Morrison found the building to be of significant status.[2]

The house was built by John Scudder, one of the city's "most prolific and successful antebellum builders".[3] It was later sold to William Wade in July 1860 for $5,000.[3] Scudder also built the property next door at 11 East Jones Street.
