Using slave labor from his plantation in Alabama. Joel Early Hurt built an Italianate villa styled house in Wynnton in 1859, then outside Columbus, for his wife Frances Flourney Hurt, on thirty acres bought from John Woolfolk for $5500. The architects Barringer and Morton designed and built the house. Hurt installed his own gas and water works. When Hurt died in 1865, the house was inherited by his wife and daughter Julia. Julia married Captain Peyton Colquitt at Dinglewood during the Civil War, in which Colquitt was killed. In 1899 the house passed to Frances Hurt’s sister, Martha Adams and her daughter Fannie Adams. The scrapbook belonged to Fannie and her friend Annie G. Hinde who lived in Dinglewood until her death in 1947.
