Description

Postcard depicting the "Bahama House," in Key West, Florida. "The Bahama House, built in the Bahamas many years ago, it has long been a landmark in Key West. The fact that its morticed and pinioned timbers were taken apart in the place of its origin, transported in schooners and erected here, has given rise to the weird legend that it was floated here a la Noah's Ark."
