Ebenezer Clough (died 1724) was an American master mason. His most notable work is the Old North Church, in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts, which he helped build in 1723. It is now the oldest extant church in the city and is a National Historic Landmark. It is believed he was also involved in the construction of other brick buildings in the city, including Union Oyster House and the Pierce-Hitchborn House.[1]
Before he began work on the Old North Church, in 1715 Clough built his family home—today known as the Clough House[2]—which stands behind the Old North Church.[3] He also laid out Unity Street,[1] on which the house stands.[4]
