Note the old Key West dormer windows and patio. Next to the cottage is the Telegraph building where Richard Harding Davis sent his wires during the Spanish American War. A beautiful flame tree is between the buildings and further down the street are other restored Greene Street buildings and Sloppy Joe's, where Ernest Hemingway often visited with his fishing friends."Collection
