Postcard depicting the Caroline Lowe house at 303 Duval Street. The caption reads, ‘The Old Caroline Lowe Home, Key West, Florida’. The description on the verso reads, 'No home in Key West is more highly valued both as an example of our distinctive architecture and because of the vivid personality of its former owner than the Caroline Lowe home at the corner of Duval and Caroline Streets. During the unbroken possession of Key West by Federal troops during the War between the States, a be-deviled Provost Marshal never could locate the Confederate flag that Mrs. Caroline Lowe flung to the breeze from the top of this house whenever she deemed the time auspicious.'Subject Place
