Old Post Office and Customshouse

The Old Custom House, an imposing building with red pitched roofs, is located a few hundred meters from Mallory Square among a cluster of quaint wooden cottages. It is one of the city's most important historical buildings and now houses the Museum of Art and History of Key West, where there is also a section dedicated to one of the most distinguished historical characters of the city: Ernest Hemingway. A few steps away is Mallory Square, famous for being a place for watching the sunset, and the street performers who come here every night.
