Ernest Hemingway Home and MuseumDescriptionThis handsome stone Spanish Colonial house was built in 1851 by Asa Tift, a marine architect and salvage wrecker. Ernest Hemingway owned the house from 1931 until his death in 1961. Here he wrote about 70% of his life's work, including the famous For Whom the Bell Tolls, A Farewell to Arms, and The Snows of Kilimanjaro. Photographs and some artifacts in the rooms of the house help illustrate the life of the writer. The house contains the first swimming pool built on Key West (look for the penny he pressed into the cement near the pool). Hemingway lived in this house with about 50 cats, whose descendants still roam the premises.
