From 1914-17, author Edgar Rice Burroughs and his family lived in this house. Here he did most of his creative Oak Park work, writing at least 10 Tarzan and Mars stories. Although Tarzan of the Apes had been published in All-Story magazine in October 1912, it was while Burroughs lived in this house that the first edition of that novel was published. Native Chicagoans Burroughs and his wife Emma came to Oak Park to raise their family shown here from left, Joan, Hulbert, and Jack.
