Milton Curry arrived in Key West from the Bahamas penniless, then proceeded to make a fortune trafficking in the sale of goods recovered from ships wrecked on the outlying coral reef. He began building his mansion home in 1869, which was subsequently finished by his son Milton in 1899. The home's architectural details reflect the goods Curry salvaged from the passing ships, so bits of New England, New Orleans, and the South are evident. You can even visit the attic and the widow's walk on this self-guided tour.
