The Cannonball House is a Greek Revival house and museum at 856 Mulberry Street in Macon, Georgia, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1853 as a planter's townhouse for Judge Asa Holt, it takes its name from a cannonball that struck it on July 30, 1864, fired by Union forces under George Stoneman during the American Civil War. A bronze cannon forged at the Macon Arsenal in 1864 stands in the front yard, and the rear retains a hand-molded two-story brick kitchen with servants' quarters above.
