"Ursula K. Le Guin’s longtime residence at 3321 NW Thurman St. in Portland,
Oregon has been added to the National Register of Historic Places in
recognition of its “significance to American literature and women’s history.”
During the 58 years she spent in the distinctive Queen Anne-style home until
her death in 2018, Le Guin wrote many of the novels that have since been
canonized among the most celebrated classics of speculative fiction, including
A Wizard of Earthsea,
The Dispossessed, and
The Left Hand of Darkness.
Among other accolades, her work would earn her five Hugo awards, a National
Book Award, and finalist status for the 1997 Pulitzer Prize.
In 2024, her estate donated the house to the local nonprofit Literary Arts,
which is in the process of converting it into the Ursula K. Le Guin Writers
Residency."
