Key West Lighthouse


I would be remiss if I didn't include the lighthouse for Dennis. The lighthouse is located across the street from the Hemingway House. The original Lighthouse was destroyed during a hurricane in 1846. The new lighthouse was moved from the sea location to its present site in 1849. It presently stands at 86 feet which it was raised to in 1894.

  1. This is also beautiful and the same as I remember....speaking of my trip it has to have been at least 7 or 8 years ago as Mom was still okay at that time.

  2. Seems like it would be easier to re-build the lighthouse than to move it, no?
