"Time for Fun" at the Custom House
This is the Key West Art and History Museum at the Custom House. The 1891 building, designed in the Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style, originally served as a United States Customs House, courthouse and post office.
Henry Hobson Richardson (1836-1886) was a prominent American architect who created a Romanesque Revival style that was used by numerous other architects. Two links are given below for more information about this style of architecture.

"Time for Fun" is the title of the 25-foot tall sculpture of the dancing couple in front of the building.
UPDATE: "Time for Fun" is no longer at the Custom House. Another J. Seward Johnson (sculptor of "Time for Fun") will be displayed at the Custom House. I have not been able to find out where "Time for Fun" went. (Thank you Valerie, ucamari photography , for the tip)
