In 1904, Charles Chesnutt and his wife Susan purchased the house at 9719 Lamont Avenue which was located in the upscale Hough neighborhood . While by this time, Chesnutt had decided that the American public would not support him as a full-time novelist, he still wrote many more short stories, several novels, and other important works at this desk in his library from the time he moved into the house until his death 28 years later, in 1932. | Date: 1905 | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Charles W.
