Pauli Murray Family Home, Civil rights landmark in Durham, United States.

The Pauli Murray Family Home is a one-and-a-half-story wooden house with a gabled roof located on Carroll Street in Durham. The interior has been restored to show how the family lived and to help visitors understand the domestic spaces of an important civil rights figure.

The house was built in 1898 and later became home to Pauli Murray, a civil rights advocate whose legal work shaped modern thinking about equality. Her contributions to civil rights law influenced major decisions that protected the rights of African Americans and women.

This house was home to Pauli Murray, whose life and ideas remain visible through the preserved rooms and spaces. Visitors can understand how an important activist grew up here and developed her thoughts that would shape civil rights thinking.

The house sits on the west side of Carroll Street north of Morehead Avenue in Durham's West End, set back from the road behind a long lawn. The center opened to the public in September 2024 for tours, events and community use, so check opening times before travelling. The entrance is sheltered by a porch reached across the lawn.

The house was named a National Treasure by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2015, and a National Historic Landmark in 2016. In 2017 the National Park Service awarded the Pauli Murray Center a $237,575 grant through its African American Civil Rights Grant Program, money used to rehabilitate the interior.
