Step through the door of Disney history: Walt's childhood home
From a humble home in Chicago to a legacy of magic that inspires the world, the Walt Disney Birthplace, in Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood at 2156 N. Tripp Ave., marks the beginning of Walt Disney's life.
The Disney family, including Walt Disney's parents, Elias and Flora, and his siblings Herbert, Raymond, Roy, and Ruth, lived in the two-story wood cottage now known as the Walt Disney Birthplace.
Built in 1893 by his father, Elias, and designed by his mother, Flora, the two-story house welcomed Walt into the world on December 5, 1901. He shared a room with his older brother, Roy, until the family moved to Marceline, Missouri, in 1906.
The house had been sold throughout the years and was purchased by Dina Benadon and Brent Young in 2013 on a mission to restore it to its 1901 state and preserve its history.
