The Shorter Mansion was built by Eli Sims Shorter II in 1884. Sadly, the original structure burned down in 1900 and what visitors see today is the Classic Revival-style house which was designed in 1906 by Curran R. Ellis, a famed architect.
The house museum remained in the family, passing down from one generation to the next until 1965 when it was bought and restored by the Eufaula Heritage Association.
There are tours held throughout the year for visitors to be able to explore what was once a social center for the small town. In addition to the gorgeous architecture, you’ll also come across many period antiquities and furnishings within the mansion.
