Zora Neale Hurston House
Zora Neale Hurston House, National Historic Landmark residence in Fort Pierce, United States.
The single-story concrete block house with a flat tar-and-gravel roof stands at 1734 Avenue L between North 17th and 19th Streets.
From 1958 to 1959, author Zora Neale Hurston resided in this residence provided by Dr. Clem C. Benton, where she wrote her final manuscripts.
The residence represents the last home of one of the 20th century's most influential African-American writers, who documented Black communities in Florida.
The house was relocated 500 feet north from its original location in 1995 to accommodate the expansion of Lincoln Park Academy.
Deputy Sheriff Pat Duval rescued Hurston's manuscripts from a trash fire after her death, preserving important literary works for future generations.
