The Wynn House was built in 1839 when the city of Columbus was 11 years old. 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.

Sonesta Essential Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk lady was so, so nice. She was always so friendly when arriving or departing. You could find her cleaning and the lobby always smelled fresh and clean. I even checked out and realized a forgot something and she put me on hold to personally go check my room and retrieve the item I left. Would def stay there again. The area seemed safe as well. "

stayAPT Suites Columbus-Fort Benning

10/10 Excellent

"Way more room than a typical hotel room. We were there for our son's Turning Green Ceremony. He wanted to "just chill" a lot. The extra space gave us room to watch TV, play cards, and hang out without awkwardly sitting on the beds like you have to do at most hotels. The full refrigerator was nice for leftovers and snacks. They responded quickly when we asked for more towels and toilet paper. The location was close to everything we wanted to do and many restaurants. I would recommend! "
