This is the story of the Gustavas A. Wynne family and the home Mr. 
Wynne built for his bride in Huntsville, Texas, in 1883. During their 
lifetime and through the generations since, the Wynne family has 
occupied a prominent place in the economic, religious and social life 
of the community and created an evolution of the original honeymoon 
cottage into the classical home of today. It is also the story of the 
magnanimous gift of the home to the city in 1998 and the 
reconstruction and adaptive reuse of the structure as a community 
arts center. Photographs both old and new document the history and 
open the doors to a home and to a lifestyle of generous contribution 
to the city and the region.
