An artist sketches one of the railway foreman's cottages, constructed in the early 1900s, at Pigeon Key. The tiny five-acre key, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, served as home base for workers erecting the Old Seven Mile Bridge, a major element of Henry M. Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway extension to Key West, completed in 1912, near Marathon, Florida, USA
