    O. Henry was the pen name of American writer William Sydney Porter, whose clever use of twist endings in his stories popularized the term "O. Henry Ending".

    O. Henry stories are famous for their surprise endings, but were rather playful & optimistic.
    Most of O.Henry's stories are set in his own time, the early years of the 20th century, & take place in New York City, dealing for the most part with ordinary people: clerks, policemen, waitresses.

    The home in the picture was originally located at 904 Presa Street. It was from this house where William Sydney Porter would release the humerous newspaper “The Rolling Stone.”
