McConnell House History
The McConnell House at 2057 Grayson-Lawrenceville Hwy, in Grayson Georgia, was built by J. P McConnell for his son Andrew “Uncle Buddy” McConnell in the mid to late 1890's. It is the foremost example of Victorian architecture left in Grayson today. The Andrew McConnell family moved from Grayson to the Stone Mountain area around 1909.
Alexander and Cora Cooper Webb bought the property around 1910. Alexander Webb was the son of Rev. Andrew J. Webb. Webb Ginn House Road earned it's name because it was the way farmers went to Rev. Webb’s cotton gin. After the death of Alexander Webb in 1941 and the death of Cora Cooper Webb in 1972, the home was rented several times, but then purchased by Steve and Patty Allen. The Allens eventually sold the property in 2001. After the sale, the home housed The Noble Hall Gift Shop and now the Gwinnett School of Music. Most of the original doors, moldings, mantels, and mill work are still beautiful, original and intact.
