Jack Kerouac House, Literary landmark in College Park, Orlando, United States.

The Jack Kerouac House at 1418 Clouser Avenue is a rectangular, one-story, front-gable Frame Vernacular house built in 1925 by Daniel Clouser, near the corner of Clouser Avenue and Shady Lane Drive. It is used by the Jack Kerouac Writers in Residence Project of Orlando, Inc., which gives selected applicants a four- to seven-week rent-free stay.

Daniel Clouser, a former Erie Railroad worker who moved to Florida around 1907, built the house at 1418 Clouser Avenue in 1925 during the Florida land boom. Jack Kerouac rented it, partly to be near relatives, and lived there in 1957 and 1958, completing the final edits of On the Road and writing The Dharma Bums in 11 days and nights. It joined the National Register of Historic Places on February 6, 2013.

Bob Kealing of WESH reported in the 1990s that Kerouac had lived at 1418 Clouser Avenue; with Marty Cummins of a College Park bookshop he founded the Jack Kerouac Writers in Residence Project in 1997. The house now hosts readings and events tied to that residency, and the street carries the name of Daniel Clouser, who built it.

The property operates as a writers' residence where selected authors work for extended periods. Visitors should check ahead about access since the house functions primarily as an active workplace for authors rather than a public site.

Current writers who stay here work in the same space where Kerouac composed his manuscripts, creating a direct link to literary history. This continuity makes the house more than a memorial—it remains an active place where new literature is still being created.
