The Murphy House, Greek Revival house in Montgomery, Alabama.

The Murphy House is a two-story masonry building in the Greek Revival style, built for John H. Murphy and completed by 1851. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as of March 24, 1972, and has served as the offices of the Montgomery Water Works and Sanitary Sewer Board since 1970.

The house was built in 1851 for cotton merchant John H. Murphy as one of the city's wealthiest residences. During the conflict that followed, it later served as the headquarters of the Union Provost Marshal.

The house takes its name from John H. Murphy, a Virginia cotton merchant who owned a warehouse at 122 Commerce Street where enslaved people were held before auction in the 1850s. His family stayed through the Civil War, and Jefferson Davis and William Lowndes Yancey are documented visitors. From 1894 it housed the Beauvoir Club, and in 1902 the Elks bought it as their lodge.

The building is located in downtown Montgomery and visible from the street. Visitors should note that it functions as office space today, so access may be limited to exterior viewing.

The Elks bought the house in 1902 and used it as their lodge until going bankrupt in 1967, when it was foreclosed and sold at public auction. The Beauvoir Club, which had occupied the house from 1894, took over the Elks' former clubhouse, the Knox House, at Perry and Scott Streets. The Montgomery Water Works and Sanitary Sewer Board bought and restored the building in 1970 for offices.
