Urquhart House, Historic residence in Huntsville, United States.

The Urquhart House features two sections connected by a breezeway, with loft rooms above each section and Federal-period architectural details throughout the structure.

Allen Urquhart constructed this log house in 1813, and subsequent modifications in 1835 included raising the ceiling height and adding detailed chair rails and mantles.

The residence demonstrates the evolution of Southern residential architecture through its combination of Federal and Dogtrot design elements from the early 19th century.

The property spans approximately 6 acres and received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, marking its architectural significance.

The house underwent multiple transformations, including the addition of a Greek Revival mantle in the 1860s and the construction of an enclosed porch in the early 1900s.
