13 Famous Literary Houses










Pemberley from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (1813). Owned by Fitzwilliam Darcy, the house is "handsome" with natural beauty that delights Elizabeth. You might recognize the image above from the Pride & Prejudice movie starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen.. 

Hill House from The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson (1959). Strange noises, ghosts and other supernatural events take place at Hill House.

Tara from Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell (1937). Tara, home of the O'Hara's, is named after the Hill of Tara from ancient Ireland, and it's where Scarlet continually feels drawn to throughout the course of the novel.

Misselthwaite Manor from The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett (1910). How fancy is this mansion if it has a secret garden?

BONUS: Hogwarts. So not a house, per se, but a very famous boarding school from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling (1997).
