Ernest Hemingway's Chicago Apartment
In September 1921, Ernest Hemingway and his new wife moved to a cramped fourth floor apartment (3rd floor by Chicago building standard) at 1239 North Dearborn in a then run-down section of Chicago's near north side. The building still stands with a plaque on the front of it calling it "The Hemingway Apartment." His wife Hadley found it dark and depressing, so in December 1921, the Hemingways left Chicago and Oak Park, never to live there again, and moved abroad to Paris.
