The Hemingway House is a private museum in Key West, Florida. It was the home of US Nobel Prize winner Ernest Hemingway and his second wife Pauline for around ten years. Hemingway first came to Key West in 1928 on the recommendation of his colleague John Dos Passos. In 1931, Pauline's Uncle Gus gave him the building. The building was built in 1851 in the French Colonial style of limestone and has a wrap-around veranda. There is a large park with around 40 cats and the house has some original furnishings. Hemingway wrote The Green Hills of Africa and For Whom the Bell Tolls here and enjoyed deep-sea fishing in Key West. In 1968 it was declared a National Historic Landmark.
