• Wren's Nest
  The Joel Chandler Harris House has been known as Wren's Nest for many years, and is a beautiful Queen Anne styled farmhouse located in Atlanta, Georgia. The house was constructed in 1870, and became home to Harris, who was the editor of the Atlanta Constitution, as well as author of the magnificent Uncle Remus Tales, that was written from 1881 until Harris passed on in 1908. The house still contains many of the author's original furnishings and still uses the same paint colors. In 1900, it became known as the Wren's Nest, after the Harris kids found a wren that built a nest in the mailbox; whereupon the family installed a new one so that wren's home would remain undisturbed. It became a National Historic Landmark in 1962 and is one of the few Queen Anne styled homes left in the city. It seems to personify the upper middle class of the period and is filled with the original furniture and most of the original furnishings of the Harris family.
