The Cats' Fountain
The top of the fountain is an old Spanish olive jar from Cuba, but the trough is the interesting thing. This came from "Sloppy Joe's" (Hemingway's drinking haunt) and was originally a urinal.
The house was built by Asa Tift, a marine architect (and Confederate mariner), in 1851. In 1931 Hemingway purchased it and lived here with his second wife, Pauline, and their two sons until 1939.
Here, Hemingway completed the final draft of "A Farewell to Arms," as well as "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber".
