Seth Lore and Irwinton Historic District

Seth Lore and Irwinton Historic District is a neighborhood with more than 700 buildings in downtown Eufaula. The structures were built mainly between 1870 and 1920 and display various architectural styles including Classical, Gothic, and Italian influences.

The neighborhood developed between 1870 and 1920 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The original listing included 72 buildings, and a later expansion added more structures from that era.

The neighborhood displays Italian architectural features that were popular in the 19th century and remain visible in its buildings today. These style choices appear in homes, churches, and schools that together shape the character of the place.

The neighborhood can be explored on foot since the buildings are close together and streets are walkable. Hotels and restaurants are nearby and offer visitors lodging and dining options during their stay.

First Presbyterian Church was built in 1869 in High Gothic style and is Alabama's oldest church of this architectural type. The building displays details rarely seen elsewhere in the region and makes this place particularly noteworthy for architecture enthusiasts.
