    Capt Tony’s Saloon

    The building at 428 Greene Street has a vibrant history reflective of Key West itself. Originally constructed in 1851 as an ice house and morgue, it later served as a wireless telegraph station during the Spanish-American War and hosted a cigar factory and bordello. After a brief stint as the Duval Club, known for its lavish parties that drew Navy scrutiny, it became a series of speakeasies, the last being The Blind Pig, which thrived on gambling and bootleg rum.In 1933, Joe 'Josie' Russell transformed the space into Sloppy Joe’s Bar, named after a friend of Ernest Hemingway. The bar became Hemingway's favorite haunt until 1938, when Russell and his patrons moved it to 201 Duval Street. After several changes, the bar was purchased in 1958 by Captain Tony Tarracino, who renamed it Captain Tony’s Saloon. It became a launching pad for Jimmy Buffett in the early '70s, who often played there and celebrated the bar in his song "Last Mango in Paris."

    Curry Mansion Inn (Pass By)

    William Curry, recognized as Florida's first self-made millionaire, built his home in 1869 on land his family had homesteaded since 1855. In 1901, his son Milton, a partner in the William Curry and Sons Company, bought the property from the heirs and largely demolished it, preserving only the cookhouse to create the Georgian Revival mansion that stands today. The remaining brick chimney and tiled hearth once housed a wood-burning stove, where the mysterious "Aunt Sally" is believed to have invented the Key West Pie. Recent evidence suggests she was actually Sarah Jane Lowe, wife of William's oldest son, Charles.
