Willa Cather Birthplace, 19th-century farmhouse in Gore, Virginia, United States
The two-story log house features a frame extension, three windows on the first floor, and five windows on the second floor with louvered blinds.
Jacob Seibert constructed this residence in the 1810s, which later became the birthplace of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Willa Cather in December 1873.
The house represents the intersection of literary history and rural American life, serving as the starting point for one of America's most influential writers.
The property, purchased in 2023 for preservation purposes, requires extensive restoration work and is currently not accessible for public visits.
The original wooden flooring and stairwell remain intact within the main section, preserving architectural elements from the early nineteenth century.
