The Sinclair Lewis Boyhood Home, located at 812 Sinclair Lewis Avenue, formerly South 3rd Street, Sauk Centre, Minnesota in the United States, was the childhood home of Nobel prize-winning author Sinclair Lewis, who was born February 7, 1885, in a house directly across the street. His most-famous book, "Main Street" was inspired by his home town of Sauk Centre as he perceived it from this home, a simple 8-room frame structure. His father, Edwin J. Lewis, was a physician and conducted his medical practice out of this house, as was common in that time.
