The Mitchell-Godbey House was built in 1913 by Mary G. Mitchell. In October of 2008, it was purchased by Teresa Locke Godbey. This 1300 square foot Victorian cottage which includes an entryway, a living room, a master bedroom, a parlor (currently used as a second bedroom), a kitchen, a dining room, and "glamour bath" was once home to 8 people!

Much of the original house is intact: original hardwood floors throughout, front door with attached original doorbell, all interior doors and trim are original to the home and the skeleton key to the bathroom is also original. While the key to the bathroom is original, the bathroom has been updated. The kitchen has also been renovated. It is rumored that the two trees just outside the front door are the oldest trees in Old Decatur. Note the Gregorian calendar located in the dining room. It was found in the attic and is estimated at over 100 years old. Teresa is ecstatic to finally be a resident of Old Decatur!
