1. The Patterson-Baldwin House Marker
The single story structure on the back of the house was moved here by Alexander Patterson after the devastating hurricane of 1846. It is believed to be one of the oldest buildings in Key West. Mr & Mrs Pinkney lived in the cottage where his sister, Madame Passaloque, began the island's first private school house in 1847. John Baldwin purchased the property in 1860 enlarging the structure in 1867. The property remained in the Baldwin family for 102 years.
