Marjory Stoneman Douglas House, Environmental activist residence in Coconut Grove, Miami, United States.
The Marjory Stoneman Douglas House is a wooden residence in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, built in 1926 with a T-shaped floor plan. The exterior combines timber framing, brick, and stucco, with irregularly placed windows and curved roof shingles.
George Hyde designed the house in 1926 for Marjory Stoneman Douglas, who lived there until her death in 1998. It was during her decades in this home that she wrote the book that changed public understanding of the Everglades.
The house carries a strong connection to the effort to protect the Florida Everglades, and many visitors come here already familiar with the work of its famous resident. The name of the place alone is enough to signal her role in shaping how people in Florida think about nature.
The house sits on Stewart Avenue in Coconut Grove and can be seen from the street. The interior is not open to visitors, so a visit means walking around the outside and taking in the grounds.
Despite its modest size, Marjory Stoneman Douglas lived in the house until she was 108 years old, making it one of the longest continuously inhabited private homes in Miami's history. She continued to speak out on conservation from this address well into her final years.
