THAT is a shockingly beautiful house! I bet it's nice to have it in the family.
I just went to a wedding in Montgomery this past weekend for a friend who was raised in Eufala. Nice place.
My ggg grandfather Edward Young was born in NYC in 1802, but had the good sense to leave and move south. He married a Georgia girl and moved to Eufaula, where he built the first bridge over the Chattahoochee (and charged a pretty penny to cross it.) He built the house, and it was later owned by his daughter Ann Beall Young and her husband S.H. Dent (Dent's Battery, CSA). My great grandmother Nan Beall Dent Long also lived in the house with her three children after she was widowed. When I climbed into the cupola, I found my great-aunt Jack's name scribbled on the plaster in a childish hand, dated when she was about 7 years old.
It's a fine, well built house in the Italianate style - central hall with a straight staircase with a landing halfway up, four large rooms to the sides (two each) on the ground floor (not counting the kitchen extension) and four large rooms upstairs plus a front room. The architectural archaeologists (or whatever they are called) did some paint chip detective work and restored the house to its original pre-Victorian colors (of course they all were painted white in the McKinley era). Next project is restoring the fountain out front to working order.
