About The Hemingway House
The Ernest Hemingway House was the residence of American writer Ernest Hemingway in the 1930s. The residence was constructed in 1851 in a French Colonial style by wealthy marine architect and salvager Asa Tift. From 1931 to 1939, the house was inhabited by Hemingway and his wife Pauline Pfeiffer. They restored the decaying property and made several additions. During his time at the home, Hemingway wrote some of his best-received works, including the non-fiction work Green Hills of Africa (1935), the 1936 short stories "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber", and the novels To Have and Have Not (1937) and Islands in the Stream (1970). On November 24, 1968, it was designated a National Historic Landmark. The house is also famous for its large population of so-called Hemingway cats, many of which are polydactyl. These cats roam freely on the property and are protected as an animal sanctuary.
