John Steinbeck Home - New York City

John Steinbeck's home is on East 51st Street in New York City.  The author moved here, in the ground floor apartment, in the summer of 1943 with his second wife Gwyn Conger.  For much of the time Steinbeck served as a war correspondant for the New York Herald Tribune and spent many months covering the war in Europe.  Steinebeck wrote the screenplay for Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat while living here and also began work on his novel Cannery Row.  His first son, Thomas, was born in August of 1944, shortly before the family moved.
