Points of Interest
There are many other interesting places to visit during the Pilgrimage including:
1. BANKTRUST BANK*: 218 East Broad Street. This French Colonial style building was built by
L. Y. “Yank” Dean III. The front features courtyard fountains from New Orleans, authentic French street lamps from Paris, and urns from Charleston. The front entrance hall, directors’ room, and chairman’s office feature fine 19th century antiques. The lobby’s chandelier is Gold Doré with Baccarat crystal, c 1800. The free~standing staircase is of Italian marble. Friday 9 am - 5 pm.
2. FAIRVIEW CEMETERY*: North end of North Randolph Avenue. On a picturesque bluff overlooking the lake, this cemetery contains Jewish and Confederate graves. Newly renovated thanks to Eufaula PRIDE, the iron fence enclosing the entrance once surrounded the old Union Female College in Eufaula.
3. EUFAULA ATHENAEUM: 114 East Broad Street. A private collection of books, manuscripts, maps, and photography related to the War Between the States and the early history of Alabama and the United States. Accumulated by Barbour County native, A.S. Williams, III (Steve), this collection is without equal in the Southeast.
4. HART HOUSE*: 211 North Eufaula Avenue. Built c 1850, this Greek Revival landmark is the headquarters of the Historic Chattahoochee Commission and has Doric columns, an entablature with dentals, and a center doorway with sidelights and transom. Friday 8 am - 5 pm.
5. OLD POST OFFICE / BLONDHEIM & MIXON, INC.*: 210 East Broad Street. Constructed in 1912, this Federal-style building served the people of Eufaula as their post office until 1988. Many of the original fixtures remain and have been uniquely incorporated for office use. The architect’s offices are very distinctly designed and furnished.
6. SHEPPARD COTTAGE*: 504 East Barbour Street. The oldest known residence in Eufaula, this 1837 cottage still has original wood mantels, fireplaces, and oak flooring.
7. CONNER-LAWRENCE REAL ESTATE, INC.*: 214 North Eufaula Avenue. This beautifully renovated turn of the century home has been effectively converted to a business office.
8. McNAB-DIXON HOME*: 711 West Washington Street. This raised cottage was built in 1840. It
remained in the McNab family until purchased in 1973 by the present owners, Dixon Lumber Company. The upper floor and exterior are restored virtually to the original condition.
9. STERNES-BROWN*: 144 East Broad Street. Occupied by Fredrickson Brokerage, this building was built before 1866. The lower floor of this two-story brick building has been modernized for office space.
10. WELLBORN HOME*: 630 East Broad Street. This classic Greek Revival mansion, dated from 1839, was the first of its sort to be built in this area. It was moved to its present location from Livingston Avenue. The façade and inside floor plan remain little changed. It currently serves as business offices.
11. MACMONNIE'S FOUNTAIN: Intersection of Broad and Randolph. Refurbished in 2007, this three-tiered, wrought-iron fountain fits with the character of downtown. Tradition maintains that the fountain was purchased from Dayton, Ohio, in 1880 and Fredrick MacMonnie is said to be the sculptor.
12. McNAB BANK BUILDING/THE LEWIS AGENCY*: 201 East Broad Street. Dating from the 1850s, this is one of the oldest bank buildings in Alabama. Built by John McNab, a successful grocer, it was restored in 1965, at which time $20 bank notes were found in its 3-foot thick walls. The
roll-down iron shutters on the windows are original as are most of the window panes. Features include heavy ornamental grillwork, Corinthian columns, and ornamental Tudor ceilings.
13. OLD CITY JAIL: 121 Riverside Drive. Built in 1882, the Jail was moved from its former location
behind the courthouse on Broad Street to Front Street in 1985. Extensively restored, it still has its
original iron grille, doors, and threshold.
14. DOUGHBOY MONUMENT: Intersection of West Broad and North Orange. This image of a WWI doughboy, with his arm outstretched, honors five of the ten men from Eufaula who perished in the war. It was erected and dedicated in 1920.

The Masonic Lodge, as it is currently called, is open Friday and Saturday, 9 am - 5 pm.
