The building now known as the Margaret Mitchell House was constructed as a single-family residence in 1889. In 1919, it was converted into a ten-unit apartment building, known as Crescent Apartments. From 1925 to 1932, Margaret Mitchell and her husband John Marsh lived in apartment number one, where she wrote the majority of her novel Gone With The Wind. The building was later known as the Windsor House Apartments. The house was declared a city landmark in 1989, becoming the first building in the city to achieve this status. In 1994 and again in 1996, arsonists set fire to the house. It was subsequently restored and now operates as a museum. - Local Identifier:
