description

Summary

Significance: The Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings house, typical of the late 19th century "cracker" farmhouse of Central Florida, was purchased in 1928 by Mrs. Rawlings, famous for "THE YEARLING" (Pulitzer Prize, 1939), "SOUTH MOON UNDER," "CROSS CREEK," and "GOLDEN APPLES." Mrs. Rawlings repaired the house and added bathrooms and a carport to the existing building. She bequeathed the house to the University of Florida when she died in 1954.
