Located at 907 Whitehead Street, the Hemingway Home was built in 1851. The house is still occupied by over 60 cats, some of which are direct descendents of the cats that lived with Hemingway. The famous five toed cats were a gift by a local ship captain and the family has been there ever since. Each cat has its own name and individual personality.
Hemingway moved into the house in 1931 and it still contains the furniture that he and his family used. The unique pool was the first residential swimming pool in Key West. The saltwater pool is surrounded by lush landscaping and is 9 foot at the deepest point. Built in 1938, the pool cost over $20,000; an enormous sum at the time.
