Step back in time with this stately 1885 landmark, the former Eufaula Tribune Building, offering over 5,200 sq. ft. of timeless architecture and endless possibilities. Zoned C-1 Neighborhood Commercial, this property is a rare opportunity for those seeking to create professional offices, boutique retail, galleries, studios, or mixed-use concepts in one of Alabama’s most beloved towns.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Lampley Robinson House (#511), the building is celebrated for its historic character, graceful proportions, and Southern elegance. It may also be eligible for preservation incentives or historic tax credits (buyer to verify), adding financial value to its undeniable charm.
Inside, the layout blends classic craftsmanship with functional adaptability. The foyer opens to gracious paired offices with soaring ceilings, tall wood windows, and original fireplaces with ornate mantels. A private office with its own entrance provides discretion for staff or clients. Toward the rear, expansive workrooms bathed in natural light can be reimagined as conference rooms, showrooms, collaborative studio space, or additional private offices. Later additions introduced a break area, multiple storage rooms, a vintage darkroom with red light intact, and a loading dock with roll-up door — an ideal feature for boutiques, studios, or businesses that ship and receive goods.
Exterior highlights include a wide front porch framed by chamfered posts, bracket detailing, and the welcoming craftsmanship of the 19th century. The grounds are shaded by majestic oaks and pecan trees, adding a sense of Southern grace and curb appeal. The half-acre lot offers 105 feet of prominent frontage, mature landscaping with room for outdoor enhancements, rear parking, and pedestrian-friendly sidewalks. Visibility is unmatched, with a daily traffic count of nearly 12,000 vehicles near the AL-GA line.
The location is as strategic as it is charming: directly across from the Eufaula Police Station, near the Barbour County Courthouse, and steps from the Chamber of Commerce. Businesses benefit from both professional synergy and walkable access to downtown shops, acclaimed local dining, and the scenic Chattahoochee River.
Beyond the property, Eufaula itself is a jewel of the South. Known as the Bass Capital of the World and celebrated for its grand antebellum homes, vibrant tourism, and community spirit, the city draws visitors year-round. Conveniently positioned within 2.5 hours of Atlanta and just over 2 hours from Panama City Beach, Eufaula offers both small-town charm and regional accessibility, making it a strong investment for businesses and developers alike.
This Southern landmark is ready for restoration, inviting its next steward to write a new chapter in its remarkable story. Tour today and envision the possibilities.
