St. Elmo, Greek Revival residence in MidTown Columbus, Georgia.
St. Elmo features symmetrical architecture with classical columns, marble details, and mahogany elements throughout its two-story structure at 2808 18th Avenue.
Colonel Seaborn Jones constructed this residence between 1828 and 1833, using materials primarily sourced from the property except for marble and mahogany components.
The residence received its current name in 1878 after Augusta Jane Evans Wilson wrote her notable novel while staying at the property.
The house maintains its status on the National Register of Historic Places since 1971 under reference number 71000284, ensuring preservation of its architectural features.
A small lake on the grounds marks the location where workers extracted clay during the original construction of the residence in the early 1800s.
