Alex Caemmerer
-- Key West -- an architectural treasure trove of houses built in the 19th century

-- Many of Key West's houses were built by ship's carpenters with no plans other than memories of seaport homes from their past
-- Widow's walks borrowed from New England, overhanging eaves (eyebrows) from the West Indies
-- Builders added details from architectural fads of the time -- from Greek Revival columns to Creole trellises
-- Many charming anecdotes about old Key West gleaned from interviews with descendants of the families who built houses there
-- For anyone who loves to look at charming old houses and imagine their histories
