Bray-Barron House

N. Eufaula Ave., Eufaula, AL

The Bray-Barron Home is one of the Alabama better examples of a mid-nineteenth century.middle class town house. This Greek Revival house was built prior to 1850 by Nathan Bray, one of our brothers who migrated to Eufaula, Alabama, from New England. All of the brothers saw service in the Confederate Army, three of' them in combat action. Nathan was detailed to handle receipt of arms and ammunition from the manufacturers and deliver them to the army. The house was occupied by members of the Bray family until 1963. At the death of the last surviving member, Miss Katie Bray, it was left to the first' Presbyterian Church of Eufaula. The church sold the property to A. M. Rudderman in 1964, who later sold it in that same year to,Ralph Pyburn. In 1965 N. G. Barren and wife, Ruby Mutton Barren, bought the property. This landmark is one of the highlights of the Eufaula Pilgrimage.
