Hemingway House
Close-up detail - copper flowers
The house's first owner, Asa Tift, had this raised flowerbed and pond built in the shape of an ironclad from the American Civil War.
The house was built by Asa Tift, a marine architect (and Confederate mariner), in 1851. In 1931 Hemingway purchased it and lived here with his second wife, Pauline, and their two sons until 1939.
Here, Hemingway completed the final draft of "A Farewell to Arms," as well as "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber".
