Jack Kerouac House, Literary landmark in College Park, Orlando, United States.
The rectangular one-story Frame Vernacular house at 1418 Clouser Avenue features typical 1920s architectural elements with wooden construction and front gable design.
The residence, constructed in 1926, gained national recognition when writer Jack Kerouac lived there during the late 1950s while completing his work The Dharma Bums.
The National Register of Historic Places added this property in 2013, acknowledging its role in American literature and the Beat Generation movement.
The Kerouac Project transforms this historic site into a writers' residence, offering selected authors three-month stays to develop their literary works.
Writers who stay at the house work in the same environment where Kerouac created his manuscripts, maintaining a direct connection to literary history.

The Orlando area and its surroundings offer much more than theme parks. A thirty-minute drive from Walt Disney World, the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral traces American space exploration history with full-scale rockets and Apollo mission exhibits. Nature enthusiasts will enjoy Gatorland, a 45-hectare (110-acre) animal park home to over 2,000 alligators and crocodiles, or Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, a 100-hectare (250-acre) reserve famous for its 62-meter (205-foot) carillon tower and landscaped gardens. Downtown Orlando features various themed museums, from the Science Museum with its planetarium to more unusual collections like the International Drive Wax Museum. Families appreciate entertainment options such as WonderWorks, identified by its upside-down building, or Fun Spot America in Kissimmee, offering roller coasters and go-kart tracks. For quiet relaxation, Leu Gardens display 20 hectares (50 acres) of botanical collections, while Kissimmee Lakefront Park hugs the shores of Lake Tohopekaliga with its paved trails and fishing piers.
