Literary landmark status for Hemingway home
Author Ernest Hemingway's former home in Key West, Florida, US has been designated a literary landmark by the American Library Association.
Hemingway owned the property until his death in 1961and it became a museum in his memory in 1964. The building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1968. Hemingway worked on many of his best-known novels and short stories in a second-storey writing studio adjoining the Spanish colonial villa at 907 Whitehead Street. These include For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Snows of Kilimanjaro and To Have and Have Not, the last named actually based in Key West and Hemingway's only novel set in the US.
Key West is already home to several other literary landmarks, including the former homes of playwright Tennessee Williams and poet Elizabeth Bishop.
