The Judge Wilson House

Each year, the Atlanta Preservation Center releases its annual list of Most Endangered Historic Places.  Among the places-in-peril on the list for the second year in a row is one of Atlanta’s last remaining pre-Civil War buildings, a two-story Greek Revival known today as the Judge William Wilson House.  The Preservation Center’s executive director, Boyd Coons invited us to see the house, which stands on a lonely stretch of Fairburn Road in Southwest Atlanta, to survey the state of the house and discuss the importance of preservation.
