The Hemingway Birthplace Home
339 N. Oak Park Avenue
Take a moment and stand in front of this beautiful Queen Anne style residence, with its expansive porch and grand turret and be prepared to take a small step back into time. As you stroll up the wooden walkway to the front door, you begin to see what life was like at the turn of the century.
The home was designed by architect Wesley Arnold and built around 1890 for Ernest Hall, Hemingway's maternal grandfather, maintains many of its original features that even Ernest would find familiar.
