Over the last 10 years or so I've seen all of Hemingway's remaining residences and haunts, including this one....(Hey, a guy's gotta have a hobby). This one was in pretty good shape when I saw it a few years back, at least as well-preserved as Key West and Bimini. I wonder what happened?

The crumbling 9-acre estate on a hill just east of Havana was left to the Cuban people after Hemingway's death from suicide in 1961 and is now a museum, housing books and manuscripts of the famed American novelist.
Hemingway lived at Finca Vigia (Lookout Farm) from 1939 to 1960 and it was there he wrote "The Old Man and the Sea," the story of a struggle between a fisherman and a giant marlin that won a Pulitzer and the Nobel Prize in literature.
