Architecture on Florida's Key West reflects the diverse and colorful nature of those who have shaped this remote island's character:grand classical homes of sea captains from New England, cobbled-together wooden dwellings of ships' carpenters, humble but charming cottages of cigar makers from Cuba.Today's equally varied population of artists,writers, and political figures contributes to that heritage by designing interiors and landscapes that complement the vibrant tropical location, quirky isolationist tradition, and relaxed atmosphere.
