The John Coleman House, also known as Grassdale, is a two story wood frame plantation house in Eutaw, Alabama, built in the I-house style by John Coleman, a settler from Edgefield, South Carolina, who took up the property in 1819. Coleman was a large slaveholder, recorded as holding 75 enslaved people in Greene County in the 1840 United States census. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 6, 1982, as part of the Antebellum Homes in Eutaw Thematic Resource, and is today used as a hunting lodge. An adjacent cemetery holds the graves of members of the Coleman family alongside enslaved people who lived on the plantation.
