Joseph Henry Lumpkin House
Joseph Henry Lumpkin House, Greek Revival house in Athens, Georgia, United States
The Joseph Henry Lumpkin House features a two-story porch supported by Doric columns on three sides at 248 Prince Avenue in Athens.
Built before 1837 by Charles McKinley, the residence underwent substantial expansion in 1850 and moved closer to Prince Avenue on rollers in 1906.
The structure housed Madame Sosnowski's Female Institute from 1867 to 1899, offering instruction in German, French, and music to local students.
The property maintains free parking facilities and public restrooms, while visitors can explore the house through scheduled tours by Classic City Tours.
The building currently functions as part of the University of Georgia School of Law's Institute of Continuing Legal Education since its 1984 renovation.
