[edit] Summary
| Description |
Front walk and entrance of Rowan Oak, the home of Nobel laureate and American novelist William Faulkner in Oxford, Mississippi. It is now owned and maintained by the University of Mississippi as a museum. One of the oldest structures in Oxford, this Greek Revival house on Old Taylor Road was built in the 1840s by a Colonel Shegog. Faulkner bought the crumbling house, then known as the “Bailey Place” in 1930 and promptly renamed it, then slowly refurbished it. Faulkner’s daughter sold Rowan Oak to the university in 1972. |
