Thoreau-Alcott House

The Thoreau-Alcott House is a historic house at 255 Main Street in Concord, Massachusetts that was home to the writers Henry David Thoreau and Louisa May Alcott at different times, vintage silver print glossy 8 x 10 inch photograph.

The house was built in 1849 by Josiah Davis and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

Henry David Thoreau moved to this home in 1850 with his family; he stayed until his death on May 6, 1862. After the death of her mother Abby May, Louisa May Alcott purchased the home for her sister Anna Alcott Pratt, though she moved there as well along with her father Amos Bronson Alcott. It was in this home that Louisa wrote her novel "Jo's Boys" (1886), a sequel to "Little Women" (1868).
