M odest by conventional standards, this Queen Anne-style home in Oak Park is notable not in and of itself, but for the person who once called it home. This was the boyhood home of Ernest Hemingway, who would later distinguish himself as a writer, philosopher, and world traveler. It was here, in 1899, that the Hemingway story began. He stayed in Oak Park until his teens when he first sought to explore the world by taking a job at a Kansas City newspaper. Not long after he would return to the Chicago suburbs to nurse his wounds, and shortly after he was healed, moved on to Paris and a more spectacular life.
