The Historic District of Key West is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. More than 2500 buildings and structures, much of them built in wood, contributes to the unique historic urban fabric that attracts thousands of visitors each year. From Ernest Hemingway to cigar makers' cottages it is through the preservation of historic buildings that we keep a connection with the past; a past that needs to be preserve for future generations.
