Oldest House/Wrecker's Museum
Dating from 1829, this old New England Bahama House has survived pirates, hurricanes, fires, warfare, and economic ups and downs and gives witness to a slower more easy time in the island's life. This 1 1/2-story home was designed by a ship's carpenter and incorporates many features from maritime architecture including port holes and a ship's hatch designed for ventilation before the advent of air conditioning. Especially interesting is the detached kitchen building outfitted with a brick "beehive" oven and vintage cooking utensils. Though not a must-see on the Key West tour, history and architecture buffs will appreciate the finely preserved details.
