Joel Chandler Harris House, Victorian house in West End, Atlanta, United States.
The Joel Chandler Harris House features Queen Anne style architecture with a decorated facade, six additional rooms, and modern amenities from its 1884 expansion.
The residence belonged to Joel Chandler Harris, editor of the Atlanta Constitution and author of Uncle Remus Tales, from 1881 until his death in 1908.
The house preserves the legacy of African American folk tales through storytelling programs and displays the original furnishings from the Victorian period.
Visitors can explore the house through guided tours on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with weekday visits requiring advance appointments.
The name Wren's Nest originated when birds built their home in the family mailbox, leading to the construction of a new mailbox to protect them.
