The Dr. William E. Murphey House was a historic residence near Trinity, Alabama, United States. The house was built around 1824 by George Murphey, a settler from North Carolina. The house eventually passed to his son, William. It was a Tidewater cottage with a hall and parlor layout, common in Murhpey's native North Carolina but rare in North Alabama.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1] It was destroyed by a tornado on April 27, 2011.[3]
