Key West, Southernmost Home in Key West
I turned around again and encountered the southernmost house in Key West. Not only is it the southernmost house in Key West but also the southernmost house in the continental United States. Of course, everyone knows that Hawaii is the site of the southernmost point in the United States — South Point on the Big Island (yes, of course I have been there). Back to Key West, this house was built in 1896 for a cost of $250,000. Imagine what this is in today's dollars — undoubtedly many millions. It was originally built as a residence and has served multiple purposes but was converted back to a residence until 1996 when it was restored as a 13-room hotel with a museum on the first floor. The house is an architectural treasure and I regret that I did not have time to explore it thoroughly.
