Description
Stormfield. Mark Twain’s last home. Twain, encouraged by his biographer, Albert Bigelow Paine, bought the 248 acre property in 1906, sight unseen. A year later, he hired John Mead Howells to design an 18 room, two story Italianate Villa. Mark Twain’s daughter, Clara Clemens, selected the location for the house, and Isabel Lyon, his secretary, helped supervise its construction.
