Fendall Hall, House museum and National Register landmark in Eufaula, Alabama, United States.
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 Brown Young and Ann Fendall Beall built the Italianate house between 1856 and 1860. It stayed in the Young family for five generations, passing in 1879 to their daughter Anna Beall Young and her husband Stouten Hubert Dent. The Alabama Historical Commission acquired it in 1973 and restored it to an appearance spanning 1880–1916.
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 stands at 917 West Barbour Street in Eufaula, a short walk from the bluff over the Chattahoochee River. Guided tours lead through the entrance hall, parlor and dining room, where the painted walls and ceiling murals are the focus. Groups are small, so call the Alabama Historical Commission site ahead to confirm tour times.
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.
