Key West - Hemingway House
The entrance to the Hemingway House, at 907 Whitehead Street, near the lighthouse in Key West. The writer Ernest Hemingway lived here from 1931 to 1939. He owned the house for some time afterward, and often visited it.
The house was built in 1851 by ship salvager Asa Tift, who was the richest man in Key West at the time. Most of the landscaping came after Hemingway's time, after the U.S. Navy built a fresh water pipeline from the Florida mainland.
