The Joel Hurt House is a historic house in Hurtsboro, Alabama, U.S.. It was built in 1857-1858 for Joel Hurt, his wife, Lucy Apperson Long Hurt,[1] and three sons.[2] During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, the three sons served in the Confederate States Army, and one of them was killed in combat.[2] (Another son, Joel Hurt, became a developer in Atlanta.) After the war, Lucy's sister and her husband, Edward Norphlet Brown, who also served as the first mayor of Hurtsboro, lived in the house.[2] In 1900, it was acquired by his son-in-law, Dr. Walter B. Hendrick, who lived there with his wife Margaret until his death in 1941; she went on to live in the house until her death in 1968.[2] It was inherited by their daughter Kate, who lived there until her death in 1997.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 11, 2005.[3]
