The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Clemens worked on many of his most notable books in this home, including "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" (1876) and "Life on the Mississippi" (1883). The success of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" inspired him to renovate the house, and he had Louis Comfort Tiffany supervise the interior decoration in 1881. He also was fascinated with new technologies, leading to the installation of an early telephone.
