Oak Park couple buys Hemingway's boyhood home
OAK PARK, Ill. (AP) — The couple that purchased novelist Ernest Hemingway's boyhood home plans to live in and restore the historic house.
Kurt and Mary Jane Neumann closed on a $525,000 deal for the home in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park on Tuesday.
John Berry of the Ernest Hemmingway Foundation says the foundation bought the home in 2001 in hopes of turning it into a cultural center but couldn't make the finances work.
