Robert Frost House
While a poet-in-residence at the University of Michigan, Robert Frost, one of America’s
best-known poets, often took walks around his Ann Arbor neighborhood. He found this house on
one of his walks, and thought it was very charming. He lived in this house from the fall of
1925 to December of 1926. Having just received the Pulitzer Prize for his poetry (the first of
four he earned), Frost accepted a lifetime appointment at the University of Michigan as a
non-teaching "Fellow in Letters". While living here he wrote a number of well-known
poems, including "Acquainted With The Night", "A Winter Eden", and
"Spring Pools", which he finished in three days while dreaming of springtime in
New England |

During the early 19th century, American looked back to classical Greece for inspiration in
establishing its own democratic identity. This house, built in the early to mid-1830’s
in Ann Arbor Michigan, is a fine example of Greek revival architecture which often was based
on the form of a Greek temple.
