Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) This beautiful Victorian mansion was built way back in 1896 as a family home for a veteran doctor of the Civil War. Later on during the Prohibition Years it became a " Speak-Easy " or a discreet place where illegal booze was served. In the 1940's it became a popular Cuban Cafe visited by celebrities such as Ernest Hemingway, Truman Capote, Louis Armstrong and Charles Lindbergh. In 1996 it was beautifully restored as a Bed and Breakfast and remains a popular place to stay. It's pretty easy to find on the last little island of the Florida Keys just by going all the way down to the end of Key West's famous Duval Street. Right before you get to the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, just look for.. The Last House.
I created this image from my original photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures or other effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.
PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.
Many thanks and best wishes!

What a fantastic visual masterpiece! I had to place a vote on it in the Florida contest. It is so Florida but so different to commercial experiences of images of Florida. This is fresh and unique. L
