MONTE CRISTO COTTAGE

This blue house has little to do with the Count of Monte Cristo, except that James O'Neill, the actor who played Dumas on the stage, lived there. The house is now listed as a historic landmark in the United States. The modest house was the birthplace of two of the greatest works of Eugene O'Neill, son of James, author and Nobel Prize winner: The Long Day's Journey Into Night and Ah Solitude (Ah, Wilderness). Today it is run by the O'Neill Center, a cultural center and national theater.
