History
Ellamae Ellis League was a twentieth-century Georgia architect. In 1940 both her children were in college, and she no longer needed to live close to work or schools. So, she designed her own home to be built in the (then) new Shirley Hills neighborhood northwest of downtown Macon.Шаблон:Sfn

Design
The League House is an asymmetrical ranch house with a split-level floor plan. Although this would become very common in later decades, this is one of the earliest in Georgia – only two others are known that predate it. It represents a move away from the bungalow style prevalent in prior years.Шаблон:Sfn
The house has garages on the basement level, living spaces on level one and two bedrooms above.Шаблон:Sfn League, who said once she had "an aversion" to the local Macon brick so common in home designs, decided to sheath the house in redwood siding.Шаблон:R
