The Moulthrop-Longview Plantation was built in 1899 at the far end of Riverside Drive on the former Shorter family property. The Queen Anne-style house known as “Longview” was designed by John Adams from “the East” and constructed by Alabama State Senator Robert H. Moulthrop. The home was built out of bricks made by the R. Moulthrop & Son Brick Company.

Also on the property was the caretaker’s house, a gristmill, a storage house with two rooms, and a shed built to work on Ford Model T’s.

In June 2020, the home and 25 acres surrounding it were purchased by an LLC with ties to the Moulthrop family. The group plans to restore the home to its former glory with several plans for its use, including a venue for weddings or other events.

This Colonial Revival house sits in the heart of Eufaula’s Historic District and was constructed circa 1925. It features a distinctive portico supported by double square columns, matching bay windows on each side of the façade, and a conservatory. Extensive restoration and renovation work has been performed since the Otero family purchased the house in 2022, utilizing period-authentic materials, fixtures and furnishings. This resulted in a Historic Preservation Award from the Eufaula Heritage Association in 2024 and inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing structure to Eufaula’s Seth Lore and Irwinton Historic District the same year.

Named for the Slade family who are recognized as the builders and first family to live in the house, the Otero family is the fifth to serve as stewards of this beautiful home.

This early Eufaula home was built by CHalres McThuren Maturon Couric, a frenchman.  In 1837, while still in his early twenties he stowed away on a ship to come to America.  He made his way to Barbour County and Eufaula from Pensacola. 

The two-story white frame house is constructed of large ship lap siding with a low hip roof and was originally built at, what was then, the western edge of town. The original house was L-shaped with four rooms downstairs and two rooms up.  The front portico features six square Doric columns,  A free-styling balcony extends over the front entrance and wooden panels are under the windows, all reflecting the simplicity of mid 1840's construction.  The front door was replaced during the Vistorian era, but was later returned to what is believed the original style.
