Margaret Mitchell House

Completed in 1899 by Cornelius J. Sheehan, this building was originally a single-family Tudor Revival residence. In 1913, it was relocated to the rear of the property and in 1919 was converted into a ten-unit apartment building known as the Crescent Apartments. 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 it 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.
