Flannery O'Connor Childhood Home
The Flannery O'Connor Childhood Home is a historic house museum in Savannah, Georgia where American author Flannery O'Connor lived during her childhood. The home is located at 207 E. Charlton Street on Lafayette Square.
==History==
Mary Flannery O'Connor lived in this home from her birth in 1925 until 1938. She later described herself in her childhood as a "pigeon-toed child with a receding chin and a you-leave-me-alone-or-I'll-bite-you complex". Her mother Regina was concerned about mosquitoes and occasionally put her daughter in a "Kiddie's Coop", a protective screened-in crib or box for infants and toddlers.〔Monroe, William.

Knoxville: The University of Tennessee Press, 2010: 216. ISBN 978-1-57233-698-8〕
At six years old, she become somewhat of a local celebrity when the ''Pathé News'' reported on how "Little Mary O'Connor" had trained a chicken. As she recalled, "When I was six I had a chicken that walked backward and was in the Pathé News. I was in it too with the chicken. I was just there to assist the chicken but it was the high point in my life. Everything since has been an anticlimax."
While living here, O'Connor regularly attended mass at the nearby Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. It was close enough that she could see the spires from her house and hear the tolling of the bells.〔Kirk, Connie Ann. ''Critical Companion to Flannery O'Connor''. New York: Facts on Files, 2008: 323.
