Key West Real Estate Trivial Pursuit - Part Two


Think back at these older  pics of  Key West. Where is/was the house or building located?

EDIT: Since nobody played I will give you the answers.

Number 1 720 Waddell Ave. Casa Marina. Photo taken after Hurricane Wilma - not Irma.

Number 2  1400 Whalton St taken in 2007 the large green lawn is now gone. Two new houses replaced the decades old grass lawn obliterating a Key West landmark property. Shame on HARC.

Number 3   1100 Flagler Avenue  This photo is at least a decade old.

Number 4  1025 Johnson St. Formerly a one floor mid-century modern owned by Aldous Brown. When his life passed away, Aldous came out as gay at around age 88 or so. What a gent he was.
Bonus Points if you know who lived there before...

Number 5 626 William former home of Broadway impresario Jerry Herman (Hello Dolly!) who renovated this home and others together with his partne.

Number 6   418 William Street

Number 8   1012 Southard Street  photo taken 2011 or 2012

Number 9  Gordon Food Service mall at 2508 N Roosevelt  Put the two store signs together to form a single phrase.
I had to stop my car, get out, and photograph this sign.

Number 10   405 Frances St  the site of one of my Key West Real Estate Horror Stories

Number 11   319 Grinnell St. Bank foreclosure with several illegal units including first floor rear that had been "remodeled" and included a totally exposed toilet in the kitchen. Kid you not. During the renovation shown below the house was burned. The fire damage was repaired.

Number 12  Former hospital, then law offices on Eaton Street. I sold this property shortly before Hurricane Wilma. This building is now a part of The Saint Hotel. This was probably the toughest deal I ever did.

Number 13     916 Fleming Street during renovation a decade ago.

Number 14  The Key West trailer was owned by the Catholic Church and located at the corner of Simonton and Virginia. It was populated by big shady trees and some shady people - and nice Key Westers.

Number 15
1212 Olivia Street as it appeared a decade ago. It was the carriage house adjacent to the larger estate next door to the east. It was sold off then foreclosed upon. It appeared in my blog the day it was listed for sale as a bank owned house. A lot of offers were made immediately. Local designer Ben Teague did the redo of this home which subsequently appeared on HGTV.

Number 16
720 Eisenhower Drive photographed in 2006 or 2007 while the old house was being renovated.  The house occupies the entire north side of Petronia Street.


Number 17
The corner of Duval and Petronia Streets. I took the photo in 1985 or 1987. This is what much of Duval Street looked like back in the day. We had lots of Conch cruisers as compared to the SUVs and luxury imports all over the island these days.
