Georgia Cottage

Georgia Cottage, also known as the Augusta Evans Wilson House, is a historic residence located in Mobile, Alabama. Built in 1840 in the Greek Revival style, it was home to Augusta Jane Evans, a prominent 19th-century novelist and the first female author in the U.S. to earn over $100,000. The house features a unique blend of Gulf Coast cottage and Greek Revival architecture, set along a picturesque avenue of live oaks. Visitors can explore its rich history, including its association with notable figures like Evans and her family, as well as Eugene Bondurant Sledge, a World War II veteran and author. The cottage was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in American literary history and architecture.
