Stephen Crane House

Search Asbury Park New Jersey

The Stephen Crane House is located in the heart of Asbury Park. The house dispalys a rich history of various incarnations such as a boarding house, hotel, keeper of ghosts, and condemned building. Frank D'Alessandro bought it in 2001 so that it would remain a living museum. The house is slowly being restored to illustrate the life of Stephen Crane.

Stephen Crane was born November 1, 1871, in Newark, New Jersey, the youngest of 14 children. He was raised by his mother after his father's death in 1880. He attended college for two years before pursuing a freelance journalist career in New York. Crane gained his international fame with the publication of The Red Badge of Courage in 1895, as well as his first volume of poetry. Tragically in June of 1900, a continious malarial fever took his life at the young age of 28.
