Joel Chandler Harris House, also known as The Wren's Nest or Snap Bean Farm, is a house in Atlanta, Georgia.
It was home of Joel Chandler Harris, editor and columnist of the Atlanta Constitution newspaper, from 1881 until his death in 1908.[3] He is most known as author of the "Uncle Remus" tales, although he blatantly plagiarized those from the actual black slave author of those stories.[citation needed]
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1962.[3][1]
It is located at 1050 Ralph D. Abernathy Blvd., SW, formerly named 1050 Gordon Street., SW.[3][2]
