Fendall Hall is a house museum built in 1860 with Renaissance Revival style features located in Eufaula, Alabama. The interior contains hand-painted wall decorations and ceiling murals throughout the entrance hall, parlor, and dining room.
Edward Young built the house in 1860, and his family retained ownership through several generations. It was sold to the Alabama Historical Commission in 1972 to secure its preservation.
The interior decorations showcase the artistic preferences and social status of wealthy Southern families during the late nineteenth century through original furnishings and artifacts.
The house is open for tours throughout most weekdays, with guided visits available through the decorated rooms. Visitors should check ahead about current hours, as availability may vary seasonally.
The wall paintings date to the 1880s and remain in their original condition, which is uncommon for houses of this age. These details reveal artistic techniques that were common in that era but are rarely seen today.
