The Judge William Wilson House is an antebellum house in Atlanta, Georgia. It is in the Fairburn Heights neighborhood, a suburban area west of the Perimeter. It is one of few remaining antebellum structures still standing in its original location within the Atlanta city limits.
The house was built in Greek Revival style in 1856-1859 and was the main house of a plantation. The house remained in the Wilson family into the 1960s when it was sold.
Its most recent use was as a community center,[2] however as of 2011 the house was disused, the roof was falling in and there were cracks in the stone walls. In that year it was added to the Atlanta Preservation Center's "Most Endangered Properties" list.[3]
