Margaret Mitchell House
Margaret Mitchell
House
Completed in 1899 by Cornelius J. Sheehan, the Margaret Mitchell
House was originally a single-family, Tudor Revival residence. In
1913, the house was relocated to the rear of the property and
converted into a ten-unit apartment building, known as the Crescent
Apartments, in 1919.
In 1925, Margaret Mitchell and her husband, John Marsh, moved
into Apartment No. 1 where Mitchell wrote the Pulitzer-Prize
winning novel Gone With the Wind.
Today, the Margaret Mitchell House is a designated city landmark
listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a popular
tourist destination, and home to the award-winning Literary
Center at the Margaret Mitchell House.
