Review:
The Ware-Lyndon House was built in 1850 for local physician Edward Ware, who, in 1880, sold it to Athens druggist Edward Lyndon; the house is named for both men. Built in the Italianate style, it is the only surviving home in the once extremely fashionable Athens district of Lickskillet.
In 1939, the City of Athens purchased the house and extensively renovated it in the 1960s. Today it is an interesting stop for history lovers, filled as it is with period furnishings and decorative arts. The house also has a history room with displays honoring the original owners of the house and its place in Athens history.
