The Houston House is the former home of Governor George Smith Houston who was one of Athens’ most prominent citizens. It is very fortunate and memorable that his heirs donated his house on Houston Street to the city of Athens to be preserved as a museum as well as a public library. The home has continuously served in this capacity since 1938 and is the cornerstone of the George S. Houston Historic District.
