J. L. M. Curry House, Greek Revival house in Talladega, Alabama.

The J. L. M. Curry House is a single-story wood-frame residence with a T-shaped floor plan and a full-width front porch topped by a boxy parapet. The building shows Greek Revival characteristics typical of 19th-century Southern manor houses.

The exact construction date is unknown; the house was moved to this site around 1850 after Jabez Curry bought it from his brother Jackson, the likely builder. Curry lived here until 1865 on a farm of about 1,100 acres, now roughly 760 acres. In 1881 he became southern agent for the Peabody Education Fund and in 1889 for the Slater Fund, promoting normal schools for teacher training.

The house is privately owned and not open to visitors, so the book-lined office can only be known from descriptions. Curry, a Georgia native and Harvard Law graduate, used the farm as his home until 1865; the property later became a National Historic Landmark in 1965.

The house stands on the east side of Alabama State Route 21, about 3 miles (4.8 km) east of central Talladega. The former Curry property is privately owned, so the house and farm are not open to visitors; the site can be seen only from the road.

The house is privately owned and not open to visitors, so it can only be seen from Alabama State Route 21. Curry himself was the southern agent of the Peabody Education Fund from 1881 and of the Slater Fund from 1889; the funds supported his work, not the estate.
