Built in 1899 by Cornelius J. Sheehan, the two-story, single-family home on fashionable Peachtree Street was converted in 1919 into a 10-unit apartment building. It was here, from 1925 until 1932, that Margaret Mitchell lived in Apartment #1 and wrote her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Gone With the Wind. When Margaret Mitchell and her husband, John Marsh, moved into the house in 1925, the building was known as the Crescent Apartments. Apartment #1 is the only interior space of the restored house that is preserved as an apartment. Architectural features include the famous leaded glass window out of which Mitchell looked while writing the book, and tile in the foyer of her apartment. All furnishings are of the period.
