Historic Structure Report: Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site, The Swedish House
What a hell of a baronial estate for an old Socialist, Carl Sandburg (1878- 1967) remarked after purchasing Connemara in 1946. Not only was there a fine residence, but there were also numerous outbuildings and dependencies, one of which was the Swedish House, a remarkable cottage originally built to house enslaved house servants, but used primarily as a sort of overflow library for storage of the Sandburg's enormous collection of books and magazines.
