This house, about 150 years old, was the birthplace of Bishop Atticus Green Haygood in 1839 and his sister, Laura Askew Haygood, in 1845. Bishop Haygood was chaplain and missionary to the Army from 1861 to 1865, president of Emory College from 1876 to 1884, editor of the Wesleyan Christian Advocate from 1878 to 1882, administrator of the Slater Fund from 1882 to 1891, and a bishop from 1890 until his death in 1896. Miss Haygood was principal of an early school for girls in Atlanta and was one of the first missionaries to China. She died in Shanghai in 1900. A brother and sister are buried in the yard of this house, now the Methodist parsonage.
