Built about 1876, this house was Willa Cather’s home from 1884 to 1890. She portrayed it in "Old Mrs. Harris," in "The Best Years," and in this passage from Song of the Lark: "They turned into another street and saw before them lighted windows; a low story-and-a-half house, with wing built on at the right and a kitchen addition at the back, everything a little on the slant--roofs, windows, and doors."
