Ernest Hemingway Boyhood Home 600 North Kenilworth Avenue Designed by architect Henry G. Fiddelke. (This is a private residence and does not offer tours.) |
The Hemingways left their house at 339 Oak Park Avenue when Grandfather Hall died. With part of Grace Hemingway's inheritance from the sale of her father's house, the Hemingways built a new home at 600 North Kenilworth Avenue, just a few blocks away from his birth home. Hemingway spent his high school years in this large "modified rectilinear" house. |
