ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON HOUSE
Here is one of America's most lovely shrines.
It was known as the house of the Frenchman
Jules Simoneon, with whom Stevenson made
his home in 1879. Stevenson was attracted
here from Europe by the woman who later
became his wife, and from this old building
he started making his many Peninsula jaunts.
Stevenson was noted as an essayist, poet and
writer of boys' stories. It was here that he
wrote "The Amateur Emigrant," "The Pavil.
ion on the Links," "Treasure Island," and
others.
This literary memorial is said to be visited
by more people annually than any other in
E the world, save only Shakespeare's home at
Stratford-on-Avon.
