Taking their cue from Ernest Hemingway, who avoided writing about his childhood years growing up in Oak Park, Illinois, critics and scholars have focused mostly on the importance of the summers that the Hemingway family spent together at Walloon Lake “Up in Michigan.” However, there are interesting insights to be gained from even a brief study of the architectural spaces that defined the two Oak Park houses in which young Ernest was reared – spaces that helped to shape the author’s sense of self in relation to interior space and in relation to family dynamics. Such early spatial influences would surface later in Hemingway’s fictions and also in his habitual choices of future dwellings.
