Greek Revival in style, the house has doric columns on three sides and is topped with a cupolo. Originally named “Oakview,” the house was built by Colonel William Wynn, for whom the Wynnton area of Columbus is named. In 1852 Henry Hurt purchased the home from Colonel Wynn, but sold it in 1855 having never lived in it. The next owner, Mr. Hines Holt, was a prominent Georgia congressman and attorney. During the Civil War, his ownership saved the home from the Union Army captain sent to burn the homes in this area. The home remained in the Holt family for 50 years. In 1905, Mr. J. T. (Tom) Cooper purchased the house and moved the structure closer to Wynnton Road so the land behind the house could be subdivided. Local legend supports that the house was moved a little too close to Wynnton Road when the mule team moving the house was left unattended at lunchtime! In 1932 the house was bought and completely restored by Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Butler. The historic structure became the home of the CFA in 1958. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/918/428cb5ef-2ef1-48b9-a875-eeef739eb7dd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![The Wynn House was built in 1839 when the city of Columbus was 11 years old.

Here Lula Carson Smith spent her formative years 10-17 and here she began to write, putting on shows in the two sitting rooms, using the sliding doors as curtains and drafting brother Lamar and sister Rita as actors. Shows grew into plays, stories and novels. She left to study writing in New York in 1934. When a teacher told her that the best stories can be found in one's own back yard, her "green arcade" of trees drew her home again. In the summer of 1935 she met James Reeves McCullers, Jr., whom she married in the garden here in Sept., 1937. They moved to North Carolina where the young author completed her first novel The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. During World War II, with Reeves overseas, Carson lived in New York but often returned home to work and rest. She liked to sit in the kitchen, absorbing its warmth, the aroma of food cooking and the conversation of the cook. In her front bedroom she kept her piano and the typewriter where she worked on her novel, and later prize winning-play, The Member of the Wedding. After the death of her father in 1944, Carson and her mother made their home in Nyack, N.Y.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/918/21198404-fa51-4c76-942c-bdebd46c6cb0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) !["St. Elmo", one of the most exquisite examples of the classic houses in America, stands in view of this point, it was built on the old Stagecoach Road by Colonel Seaborn Jones, for his wife, Mary Howard Jones. Completed in 1833, it was originally called "El Dorado." Here, Augusta Jane Evans visited her aunt and found inspiration for her celebrated novel "St. Elmo." As a member of Governor Troup's staff, Seaborn Jones came to the site of Columbus with LaFayette in 1825. Lawyer, painter, solicitor-general of the Ocmulgee Circuit (1817-1818), he was member of Congress in 1835-45- 47. President James K. Polk, President Millard Fillmore, Henry Clay, and General Winfield Scott were distinguished visitors entertained in this house by Colonel Jones. In 1878, the place became the home of Captain and Mrs. James J. Slade and the name changed to St. Elmo. Captain Slade once conducted a girls school here.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/918/7c2bde81-7404-4a22-8203-ea17536b1d5f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit MidTown Things to do Hotels Where to stay [Columbus travel guide](https://expedia.co.uk/Columbus.dx918) --- ### Popular places to visit ![Columbus_ColumbusCivicCenter_553248623995273403_02](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248623995273403/085482a5-ef09-40b4-964d-df6895e81a85.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Columbus Civic Center 4/5(1 review) Catch an event at Columbus Civic Center during your trip to Columbus.
