The Margaret Mitchell House is located at at 979 Crescent Avenue in Atlanta, Georgia. The author wrote her Pulitzer-Prize winning novel, Gone With The Wind, while residing there. Mitchell and her husband lived in Apt. 1 on the ground floor between 1925 and 1932.
The Tudor Revival is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the City of Atlanta deemed it a historic building. The landmark features a museum, a portion of which focuses on the making of the film based on the novel. The movie, when adjusted for inflation, remains the most successful film in box-office history.
