Venue Costs
More
Whether you're planning an outdoor reception on the lawn or dinner and dancing, discover the picturesque ambiance of this unique urban setting. Located in the heart of Midtown, this historic site includes the Margaret Mitchell House and Commercial Row. The house is a three story Tudor revival home with parlor rooms, covered porches and multi-leveled lawns. Commercial Row, a historic retail building, is a large space featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and an open loft feel with exposed ceiling beams. These two venues are perfect for wedding ceremonies and receptions, corporate events, award dinners, lectures and presentations, birthdays, graduation celebrations, and mitzvahs, as well as other special occasions.
Cancellation Policy
The date can be placed on a courtesy hold for two weeks. If another client wants to contract the venue on the same date, the first client on hold will be given 48 hours (2 business days) to request a contract and pay a deposit to exclusively reserve the date. Otherwise the hold will be forfeited to the second client. To hold a date exclusively, the full rental fee and signed contract are due to the Atlanta History Center within five business days of receiving the contract. A credit card number is required to guarantee the event when the client pays by cash or check.
Facility Restrictions
Evening rentals must end at midnight, with the load out being completed by 2:00 a.m. There will be a charge of $500.00 per hour or any portion of an hour for additional event hours after midnight.
Additional Information
Enjoy the whole Gone With the Wind experience and invite your guests to explore exhibitions as well as Margaret Mitchell’s Crescent Avenue apartment, which she affectionately nicknamed “The Dump.” The historic space where Mitchell wrote Gone With the Wind provides an apt setting to understand her motives for writing the novel and learn about the lifestyle of the author and her husband, John Marsh, in 1920s Atlanta. The exhibition Margaret Mitchell: A Passion for Character presents the aspiring writer through her girlhood writings, Mitchell’s career as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper, how the popularity of the book affected her life, and the philanthropy that characterized her later years. The Making of a Film Legend: Gone With the Wind details the transformation of Gone With the Wind from a best-selling novel to a film classic and features the movie’s original doorway to Tara.
