Description
Home of the Carmel Heritage Society, the First Murphy House is the first of many cottages built by Michael J. Murphy. Built in 1902, then 17-year-old Murphy originally built the house for his family. Murphy would soon thereafter become somewhat of a local icon as he helped influence the architectural flavor of the Carmel community. In 1990, the building was scheduled to be demolished when the Carmel Heritage Society saved in and moved it to its current location. The building now operates as the main office for the Carmel Heritage Society, and also is the starting point of cultural walks of Carmel offered through the society.
