About Flannery O'Connor Childhood Home
Flannery O'Connor Childhood Home was the childhood home of American writer and poet Flannery O'Connor. The white-frame Victorian house was built by her father Edward in 1923, when she was just three years old. The 20-acre estate was a paradise for young Flannery as it had well-manicured gardens, a fish pond, and exotic birds that flew freely around the property. She often spent time playing football with her relatives in the vast open space in front of the house.Address : 207 E Charlton St, Savannah, GA 31401, USA
