- Description:
- House museum contains apartment Margaret Mitchell lived in while writing Gone With The Wind, referred to as "The Dump" due to landlord neglect. Text from historical marker: "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. They referred to their apartment casually as "The Dump." 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. Variant names include: Margaret Mitchell House, Crescent Apartments, Windsor House Apartments," The Dump."
