One Of Gwinnett's Oldest Houses The historic Isaac Adair House and Commissary - thought to have been built in 1827, making it one of the oldest existing homes in Gwinnett County - is on the move again. Originally built near the present day Hurricane Shoals Road in Lawrenceville, the house was moved years ago to a rural location at 1235 Chandler Road. But now it stands right in the path of the Sugarloaf Parkway extension. The Board of Commissioners on Tuesday approved a plan to move it again - back into the city and next to the 1838 Lawrenceville Female Seminary at 15 South Clayton Street where the County will maintain the house and commissary as National Historic Register structures, eventually opening them to the public for tours and special events. "The new lot downtown was the old location of the Lawrenceville Health Center and our Heritage Preservation Program supervisor is already located right next door," said Community Services Director Phil Hoskins. His department will be responsible for the move, preservation and eventual public access to the building. The buildings will be secured on a temporary space near their present location until the new road is ready for the move into town. The front porch and four chimneys will be disassembled and restored but a 1990s kitchen addition on the back will be demolished. The agreement also specifies that the County will establish photographic documentation and narrative reports on these structures as well as the Leatherwood-Henderson farm. "I think this is a win-win situation for everyone," said Gwinnett DOT Director Brian Allen. "This important historic structure will be preserved for the public while letting us move forward with construction of a much-needed new roadway." The five-way agreement is between Gwinnett County, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Georgia State Historic Preservation Officer, the Advisory Council of Historic Preservation and the Gwinnett Historical Society.
