The Ernest and Mary Hemingway House, in Ketchum, Idaho, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.[2]

The National Register does not disclose its location but rather lists it as "Address restricted".[1]

The property is the last undeveloped property of its size within the city limits of Ketchum.[1]

The house was built in 1953 for Henry J. "Bob" Topping, Jr. It was sold to Hemingway in 1959 for its asking price $50,000. The Hemingways moved in, in November 1959.[1]

It was where Ernest Hemingway committed suicide on July 2, 1961.[3]

The Nature Conservancy acquired ownership in 1986.[1]

It is a two-story 2,500 square feet (230 m2) house in Ketchum. The Nature Conservancy transferred ownership to the Community Library, a privately funded public library, in May 2017.[3]
