Sheppard Cottage is a historic house in Eufaula, Alabama, U.S.. It was built for Henry H. Field in 1837.[2] It was later purchased by Mariah A. Snipes, who lived in the house until she deeded it to John DeWitt Snipes in 1858.[2] In 1868, it was acquired Dr. Edmund Sheppard, a physician and a veteran of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War of 1861–1865.[2] It was later purchased by C. L. Lunsford, who eventually gave it to the Eufaula Heritage Association.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 27, 1971.[3]
