Jack London Homes, San Francisco and Oakland
San Francisco-born adventurer, Jack London was one of the most successful writers of the early 20th century. His family home and birthplace is long gone, replaced by this South of Market office building (top photo) and a commemorative plaque. London spent part of his youth in Oakland where this cabin (bottom photo) now sits. The small, sod-covered log cabin is the actual 1879 Klondike home where London lived in the Yukon while working his novels such as Call of the Wild and White Fang. The cabin was moved to Oakland in 1991 and now sits appropriately in Jack London Square. London spent the last of his days in another Bay Area home, Wolf House, a 26-room mansion on his sprawling ranch in the Wine Country town of Glen Ellen.
