Margaret Mitchell House & Museum, Historical house in Midtown Atlanta, United States.

Margaret Mitchell House & Museum is a residential building from 1899 in Midtown Atlanta where the author lived from 1925 to 1932. The rooms display personal possessions, original furniture, and exhibits about how her novel came to life.

The building was constructed in 1899 and converted into apartments in 1919, when the noted author later made it her home. She completed her most celebrated work while living in these rooms.

Mitchell called the 650-square-foot ground-floor flat "the Dump," a name that stuck. She and her husband John Marsh married in July 1925 and lived there until spring 1932. Visitors can see the apartment where she wrote most of Gone with the Wind, published in 1936 and awarded the Pulitzer Prize.

The museum is at 979 Crescent Avenue in Midtown, part of the Atlanta History Center's Midtown Campus. The restored front reflects the 1899 house, while the rear shows the building as it was when Mitchell lived there. Mitchell's 650-square-foot ground-floor apartment, which she called "the Dump," is the centerpiece of the visit.

The building survived three fires: a minor one in the late 1980s, an arson fire in September 1994 that destroyed much of it, and another arson attempt in May 1996, 40 days before the Olympics, which spared only Mitchell's apartment. Daimler-Benz gave $4.5 million toward restoration.
