E.B. White’s Former Farmhouse, Inspiration For ‘Charlotte’s Web,’ Is for Sale

By K. Gitter

“The table is still there right by the window,” the agent notes. She says the whole property has been preserved perfectly. “It’s immaculate. It’s kept in beautiful condition,” Dischinger says. “Hopefully, it will be sold to someone who will carry on the legacy.”

The New Yorker essayist, children’s book author, and grammar guru bought the property in 1933, according to the L.A. Times, and lived there until his death in 1985.

Current owners Robert and Mary Gallant then purchased the place in the 1980s, as a second home, carefully holding on to White’s memorabilia. They also put their own stamp on the retreat; for example, they converted a woodshed into a sunporch.
