The city of Dunwoody is beginning the first phase of renovations with efforts to stabilize Donaldson-Bannister Farmhouse. The farmhouse was built in the 1870s and has been named to the Georgia Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places.
Currently the building is in need of stabilization to protect against further deterioration before it can be renovated and opened to the public.
The immediate improvements include the repair of a bowed wall, replacement of windows and roof repairs. Additionally, a non-historic section of the barn will be removed and an ADA compliant restroom, a multi-purpose room and an outdoor gathering place will be constructed in accordance with the historical character of the property. The restorative construction will take place over the next several months and the facilities are expected to be stabilized by the end of 2015.
