The significance of the Thomas Wynn House, c. 1820, is its importance to the local community as part of their early history as well as its being a prime example of a plantation plain structure to which additions including Greek Revival and Victorian were made as tastes changed and reflect the evolution of domestic architecture over a period of 150 years.

Built in 1826, the Wynne-Russell House had fallen into disrepair. The house was acquired by the city of Lilburn in 1975 and is managed and maintained by the Lilburn Community Partnership. The original property consisted of 400-600 acres of farmland. The Wynne-Russell House was modified over the years, in the 1840s, 1860s, and during the Victorian era.
