1. The Curry Mansion Marker
This is the site of two Curry homes. William Curry, Florida's first millionaire, raised his eight children in the original house built in 1869. His son Milton built the current mansion in 1905 keeping the original kitchen from his father's house. It is believed that Aunt Sally, William's house cook, created the first key lime pie when Milton was a young boy. William's children built seven majestic mansions around Key West in the years to come.
Circa 1869
