Description
Milton W Curry House Key West Florida
William Curry built the Curry home in 1855. Urban legend holds that the Curry kitchen was the birthplace of the original key lime pie, created by a cook known as Aunt Sally.
In 1905, Curry's son Milton demolished and rebuilt the home as a Victorian mansion that still stands today.[6] The wood used in the home is Dade County Pine, like other homes of wealthy conchs at that time. In 1920, the house passed from the Curry family to a cousin. In 1975, Edith and Al Amsterdam bought and renovated the Curry Mansion and turned it into a bed and breakfast.
Other homes built by the Curry children include the Woman's Club, the Southernmost Mansion, and the Fogarty Mansion. The Fogarty mansion is directly adjacent to the Curry Mansion and is currently the home of Fogarty's Restaurant and Flying Monkeys bar.
