Finca Vigía (Ernest Hemingway's home)

Finca Vigía (English: Lookout Farm) is a late-19th-century house in the San Francisco de Paula ward of Havana, Cuba. Sources date its construction to 1886–1887; The Magazine Antiques attributes the design to Catalan architect Miguel Pascual y Baguer. Ernest Hemingway lived at Finca Vigía from 1939 until approximately 1959–1960 and wrote and worked there for much of that period. After Hemingway's departure the property has been preserved as a museum, attracting visitors interested in Hemingway's life and Cuban literary history. Restoration efforts and international attention to conservation of the house have been noted in published accounts. The supplied research notes and sources contain no reports of paranormal phenomena, hauntings, apparitions, or supernatural entities associated with the site.
