Inside Tao House
Eugene O'Neill's Office


Eugene O'Neill had two desks in his office.  He would sometime work on two plays at once.  While working on one play he would sometime receive a sudden inspiration about the other play.  He would spin around to the other desk and start working on the second play.   He  awarded four Pulitzer's and the Nobel Prize for Literature. He completed five plays while living in Danville from 1937 to 1944, including the autobiographical  play "Long Day's Journey Into Night.

While a young man, Eugene traveled the world as a seaman.  He was proud of his days at sea and looked fondly back at them.
