the address is actually 6228 Forrest Ave. The mailbox was also Algren’s original one, it had to be big like that for him to mail his manuscripts and recieve packages. The house is very beautiful inside and out. only one owner has had the house since Algren, and that was my grandparents. It needs some repairs, but they are thinking of selling it soon.

Michelle, I wrote the article about Algren and have the photo. I am flattered by your interest. Maybe we can work something out for you to get a copy…

Is the house at 6223 Forest Ave in Miller currently occupied?
Who owns it? Is it available for sale or rent?

I’m Chicago born and raised (South Side), taught a love for literature by a priest at “Catlick” school, Algren was a legend. Been living in Miller Beach for 35 years, heard stories from old-timers about Algren (besides women, he loved poker games and whiskey with the locals). If you haven’t done so, the old Goldblatt’s on Ashland/Chicago has an Art Shay exhibit (b/w photos) in the lobby (hope it’s still there). A must see for Algren fans.
