Billingslea House

David Lewis of Whitesville, GA donated the Billingslea House to Historic Westville during the move to Columbus. It is now used to house the administrative offices of the organization.

Construction began on this house in 1845 on land purchased in Harris County, Georgia by brothers John and Winston Billingslea. Winston built this home for himself, his new bride, the widow Mary Anne Johnson, and her two daughters, Malinda and Mariah. The wood used for this home was cut from the land it was built on. This house was built of heart pine by enslaved laborers.
