Robert Louis Stevenson, the author of the literary classic "Treasure Island," lived in the French Hotel for several months in 1879 while working on various writing projects, such as "Amateur Immigrant," "The Old Pacific," "Capital," and "Vendetta of the West." Today, fans of Stevenson's body of work can check out the house, which is located at 530 Houston Street. Many rooms now display various bric-a-brac and knickknacks that once belonged to the penniless writer. Rumor has it that the Robert Louis Stevenson House is haunted by the spirit of Robert Louis Stevenson.
