Review:

Monte Cristo Cottage is one of the area’s National Historic Landmarks. You may also hear it called the Eugene O’Neill Summer House as it was the summer home of Eugene O’Neill and his father, the American actor James O’Neill. The cottage was built during the 1840s and was later expanded. Today, the building is a two-story home that sits three bays wide. There is a picturesque porch wrapping around the north side in the front. There is also a tower featuring a pyramidal roof. This is likely the location where O’Neill wrote the first two of his plays, since it is set there.
