Robert Frost House, poet, Residence 1931-1938
Robert Frost, born in San Francisco in 1874, received the Pulitzer Prize four times for his highly popular poetry inspired by rural life in New England. Frost and his family moved to 43 Sunset Avenue in Amherst in 1931, and lived there until the death of his wife Elenor in 1938. Beginning in 1946, Frost returned to Amherst for two months every year for over a decade as a special lecturer. The Frost house was originally built in 1875 for the Massachusetts Agricultural College President, Henry Goodell.
