Judge William Wilson House

Judge William Wilson House, Greek Revival mansion in Fairburn Heights, Atlanta, United States.

The Judge William Wilson House was a Greek Revival plantation house built between 1856 and 1859 on a 1,200-acre estate in what became Fairburn Heights, west of Atlanta. It was demolished in December 2015.

William Wilson inherited the land from his father in 1839 and built the Greek Revival house between 1856 and 1859 as the main house of a 1,200-acre plantation. Union General William Tecumseh Sherman used it as a temporary headquarters during the Battle of Atlanta. The Wilson family kept it until 1962, when a great-grandson sold it to Holy Family Hospital for nurses' housing; it was later a community center and was demolished in December 2015.

The house takes its name from William Asbury Wilson, who after the Civil War served in the Georgia General Assembly, as a justice of the inferior court of Fulton County and as county sheriff. The property stayed in the Wilson family until 1962, when the builder's great-grandson sold it to Holy Family Hospital, which housed its nurses there. Its last use was as a community center.

The house stood in Fairburn Heights, west of the Perimeter (I-285), on land William Wilson inherited from his father in 1839. It was demolished without announcement in December 2015, so there is nothing left to visit; the site is on private suburban ground and should be viewed only from the public street.

The house was demolished without announcement in December 2015, surprising preservationists who had hoped to stabilize it. It had been listed on the Atlanta Preservation Center's "Most Endangered Properties" list in 2011, when its roof was collapsing and its stone walls were cracking.
