The Old Town Manor
Built in 1886, the Old Town Manor is a three-story Victorian mansion built in the classical Greek Revival style. The main property boasts the original cypress front door and much original woodwork, including moldings and some flooring. The lobby contains a fireplace and a built-in mahogany bookcase, with a Colonial staircase leading to the hall. The property is also home to the tallest cistern in the Keys. Three stories high, it dates back to when Key West was dependent on rainwater only.
