Completed in 1906, The Shorter Mansion was built by Eli Sims Shorter and Wileyna Lamar of Macon. Wileyna was the heiress to SSS Tonic fortune and Eli was a cotton broker. It is an excellent example to Neoclassical Revival Architecture. The home was purchased by the Eufaula Heritage Association in 1965 at auction for $33,000. The Shorter Mansion is listed on the National Historic register.
