William Terrell Homeplace

The William Terrell Homeplace in Gwinnett County, Georgia near Lawrenceville is a historic site which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.It was a two-story Plantation Plain-style plantation house, which in 1982 was the sole house on a 29 acres (12 ha) property. The house was built around 1827. It included Federal-style details including in its mantelpiece.Around 1862 the house, then on an 870 acres (350 ha) tract, was inherited by William's wife's son, a lawyer named Kenan T. Terrell (1826–1884). Kenan was a Justice of the Inferior Court of Gwinnett County before the American Civil War. During the war he served as a captain in the Confederate army. After the war, he continued on the plantation with cotton, corn, and sugar cane crops. He was appointed to the county board of education in 1876, and was otherwise active in county affairs.Another contributing structure on the property was included in the listing.Some information for the listing was provided by C. Larry Mabrey, the owner in 1981 who was a step-great-great grandson of William Terrell and who was renovating the house. The house had always been occupied by Terrell descendents.The house unfortunately was largely destroyed in a fire on April 12, 1987.It appears that the remains were demolished; its former location appears to be within what is now the Timber Gate neighborhood or housing development, which does not include any such historic house.

Gwinnett County Courthouse

The Gwinnett Historic Courthouse is an historic government building located at 185 West Crogan Street in Lawrenceville in Gwinnett County, Georgia. The original county courthouse burned in 1872. The present day Courthouse was built in 1885. It served as the center of county business for over a century. As the population of the county grew, the Courthouse could no longer handle all of the county's business. In 1988, Gwinnett County moved the majority of its operations into the new Justice and Administration Building located at 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville. The old Courthouse underwent a lengthy three year renovation starting in 1989. It reopened on July 3, 1992, as the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse. Today, it serves as a rental venue for weddings, concerts, conferences, and other special events. It is one of the parks maintained by the Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation Department. On September 18, 1980, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 1993, a statue commemorating the Confederate States was erected outside the courthouse with an inscription of "1861–1865 Lest We Forget". The statue stood until February 2021, when it was removed and placed in storage as part of the removal of Confederate monuments and memorials that occurred in the months following the George Floyd protests. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners approved the change, saying the monument was not consistent with the modern values of the county.
