Margaret Mitchell House

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and operated by the Atlanta History Center, the Margaret Mitchell House is a turn-of-the century, three-story, Tudor Revival building where Margaret Mitchell lived and wrote her Pulitzer-Prize winning book "Gone With the Wind." Built in 1899 by Cornelius J. Sheehan, the single-family home on Peachtree Street was converted into a 10-unit apartment building in 1919. 

Margaret Mitchell and her husband, John Marsh, moved into Apartment No.1 in 1925. Mitchell's apartment is the only interior space of the restored house that is preserved as an apartment and maintains original architectural features, including the famous leaded glass window that Mitchell looked out while writing the book.

The house remained an apartment building until 1978 when it was abandoned. After restoration, the house officially opened to the public on May 17, 1997, and has since become one of Atlanta's most treasured landmarks, literary centers, special events venues and tourist attractions.
