The Longfellow House in Cambridge Massachusetts was the home of the great American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow from 1837 to 1882. The house was a favorite gathering place for many prominent philosophers and writers including Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathaniel Hawthorne. A century before, the home was used by George Washington as his headquarters during the siege of Boston in 1775-76. Longfellow House was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962, and houses an extensive museum collection of artwork, sculpture, decorative arts, historic papers, and a 10,000 volume library. The architecture and the historic significance of the Longfellow House make it an fascinating subject for a painting.
