You can scarcely find a book reader who hasn’t heard of Ernest Hemingway. The famous American writer of “The Old Man and the Sea” is having a preservation center built by his house in Cuba.

Every year, more than 100-thousand tourists visit the novelist’s house near Havana where his books and documents are kept.

A foundation started collecting funds in an effort to preserve the historically-important documents from the tropical heat.

The Finca Vigia Foundation, which is named after the writer’s home in San Francisco, has received more than 860-thousand dollars in private donations so far.

With the collaboration between American contractors and Cuban workers, the new modern structure will preserve the precious material of this iconic writer of the 20th century for future scholars and visitors.
