Description

Black and white photograph of the Captain Richard Tuggy Roberts House at 408 William Street. It is one of two houses referred to as the Bahama House because it was originally constructed in Green Turtle Cay, Abaco, Bahamas. Following the Key West Hurricane of 1846, Roberts disassembled his home, put it on a barge bound for Key West, then reassembled in its current location.
