Wynn and later moved about 300 feet to its present site.","why_significant":"The nomination presents it as an important Greek Revival house in Columbus, notable for its history and its present-day function. It was built by Colonel William L. Wynn, an early and prominent resident for whom the Wynnton section is named, and later owned by Colonel Hines Holt, a noted attorney and statesman. It also dominates the Wynnton neighborhood.","narrative":"Built in the late 1830s, this Greek Revival house on Wynnton Road in Columbus, Georgia, is a large white building with tall Doric columns on three sides, a widow's walk over the front door and a cupola. Colonel William L. Wynn, an early Columbus resident who served in the state legislature, co-founded the Wynnton Academies and worked as a Methodist minister, built it on an estate of more than 100 acres; the neighborhood takes his name. Later owners included Henry Hurt, who added marble mantels, and Colonel Hines Holt, an attorney who served as City Attorney and in the Confederate Congress. In 1905 the house was moved about 300 feet by mule power to its present site overlooking Wynn's Hill. A fire in 1968 nearly destroyed the downstairs front rooms, which were restored in 1969. The house now serves as headquarters for a non-profit association and remains a prominent landmark of the Wynnton section.","period_of_significance":"Late 1830's","architect_builder":"Colonel William L.
