🏛️ 7 Curry Mansions: A Historic Walking Tour of Key West

Hey Reader,

It’s Throwback Tuesday, and today we’re stepping into the elegant past of island life with a stroll through the “7 Curry Mansions” in the Key West Historic District. ✨ These grand homes were built by the children of William J. Curry (Florida’s first millionaire!) and they’re full of stories, charm, and serious craftsmanship.

👉 Check out the full walking tour guide here and get your ready‑for‑history shoes on.

Why this makes for a great stop

• Stories & heritage – From the original Curry Mansion at 511 Caroline Street to the Southernmost House built by a Curry daughter, the architecture screams “Key West used to mean something totally different.”
• Beautiful architecture – These aren’t cookie‑cutter homes. Think Victorian era details, Dade County pine wood, and serious island style.
• Fully walkable – You can do this tour just as part of your wander through Old Town. Frances Caroline → Eaton → Duval… all part of the charm.

Have you walked past these mansions on one of your trips? Got a favorite building, a ghost story, or a hidden detail worth hunting? Hit reply and tell me—I live for these local tidbits.

Until next Tuesday, keep your eyes open for historic doors, palm‑shaded porches, and island stories waiting just around the corner.

Cheers to the hidden gems of Key West,
