Thomas Wolfe House, Asheville, North Carolina

My Old Kentucky Home
is the name given by the previous owner of the house in which Thomas Wolfe grew up.

It is a not particularly impressive house with lots and lots of bedrooms.

And two bathrooms.

   Thomas was not particularly happy here, but the house figures prominently in his books.

He used this ledge to slip out of the summer bedroom to peek into the window of the woman he was infatuated with as a teenager.
