Key West is one of my favorite places to visit. We parked the car at the hotel, rented scooters, and off we went. My friend and I just laughed our way through the streets - it was such a fun time. And now - looking at these photos, I can't wait until we go again :)

Denise > Casa Cayo Hueso - The Southernmost House in the Continental United States - Key West (June 4, 2008)

Located on the ocean,  The Southernmost House Grand Hotel & Museum was built in 1896 for a cost of $250,000 (approximately $6 million today) by Judge J. Vining Harris, who married into the prominent Curry family. In 1939, the Ramos family purchased the property, which had been converted into a Cuban nightclub called Café Cayo Hueso (Bone Island Café), for $49,000.

In 1954, it was converted back into a residence and remained so until 1996 when a $3 million restoration began to turn it into a 13-room hotel, with a museum on the first floor.

Exterior paint colors are authentic, as are elegant crown moldings, ceiling medallions, ornamental woodwork and friezes, which were originally painted white, but have been redone in splashy shades reminiscent of its days as a Cuban nightclub.
