West Martello Tower (Key West Garden Club)
The West Martello Tower (also known as the Key West Garden Club) is a historic martello tower in Key West, Florida, United States. It is located at 1100 Atlantic Boulevard. On June 24, 1976, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places
The Key West Garden Club is one of the island's last remaining free tourist attractions. Plants are donated and maintained by members and volunteers. We are a non-profit organization.
Our mission is to provide educational opportunities for the community relating to tropical gardening and to the West Martello Tower, a National Historic site where the Club is located.
Our opening times are 7 days a week, 9:30 to 5 (except Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Years Day) and are a beautiful venue for weddings and other events.
West Martello Tower, Joe Allen Garden Center is Fort Taylor Tower #1, and is located at Atlantic Blvd and White St in Key West FL.
On your Key West vacation, you'll find that in terms of military fate, this is one of the more unusual Key West museums to visit.
Without question, it's also one of the more beautiful forts you can explore.
Plus this historic fort carries the same thread of Key West history as it's sister fort and Fort Jefferson Dry Tortugas.
Like them, this martello fort never served the purpose it was intended for, and it was never completed.
From the very beginning this Key West defense was plagued with numerous setbacks and unexpected circumstances.
All of which led to the slow and frustrating building process which finally never fully culminated

Places to see in ( Key West - USA )
Places to see in ( Key West - USA )
Key West, a U.S. island city, is part of the Florida Keys archipelago. It's also Florida's southernmost point, lying roughly 90 miles north of Cuba. Famed for its pastel-hued, conch-style houses, it’s a cruise-ship stop also accessible from the mainland via the Overseas Highway. It’s known more for its coral reefs – destinations for diving and snorkeling – than for its beaches.
Key West is the far frontier, edgier and more eccentric than the other keys, and also far more captivating. At its heart, this 7-sq-mile island feels like a beautiful tropical oasis, where the moonflowers bloom at night and the classical Caribbean homes are so sad and romantic it’s hard not to sigh at them.
While it has obvious allure, it's not without its contradictions. On one side of the road, there are literary festivals, Caribbean villas, tropical dining rooms and expensive art galleries. On the other, an S&M fetishist parade, frat boys passing out on the sidewalk and grizzly bars filled with bearded burnouts. With all that in mind, it's easy to find your groove in this setting, no matter where your interests lie. As in other parts of the Keys, nature plays a starring role here, with some breathtaking sunsets – cause for nightly celebration down on Mallory Sq.
The earliest Key West neighborhoods, on the western part of the island, are broadly known as Old Town. The Key West Historic District includes the major tourist destinations of the island, including Mallory Square, Duval Street, the Truman Annex and Fort Zachary Taylor. Old Town is where the classic bungalows and guest mansions are found. Bahama Village, southwest of Whitehead Street, features houses, churches, and sites related to its Afro-Bahamian history. The Meadows, lying northeast of the White Street Gallery District, is exclusively residential.
Key West, the southernmost point in the United States, is famous for watersports, lively nightlife, beaches, historic sites and its pastel, conch-style architechture. Duval Street, one of the most energetic strips of shops, bars and cafes anywhere, offers Sloppy Joe’s bar, a favorite Key West hangout of novelist Ernest Hemingway. And, for the more sober-minded, there's Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum.

The Haunting of Marrero's Guest House in Key West Florida
SPOILER: We have captured video evidence of paranormal activity! Two orbs, six spoken words, moaning, and the sobbing of what sounds like an adult woman.
We investigated Room 18 at Marrero’s Guest Mansion in Key West, Florida, supposedly the single most haunted room in all of Key West. Key West, Florida is thought to be one of the most haunted places in the United States. It has also become a vacation destination. The laid-back tropical lifestyle, rich nightlife and remarkable history are what draw many people back to the Keys year after year. Every little town has its secrets - and Key West holds a treasure trove filled with its own. Only its secrets are other-worldly. Tucked away in a tropical garden, yet built with the grandeur of old Victorian splendor, Marrero’s Guest Mansion is a charming bed and breakfast which is the perfect place for relaxation for visitors to Key West.
Stepping into Marrero’s Guest Mansion is like stepping back in time. The mansion is steeped in mystique and history and it has been lovingly updated and restores to bring back its former glory. It is now a bed and breakfast which features true island hospitality. The original architectural detail of the mansion remains the same. The mansion offers spacious guest rooms which have sleeping and sitting areas. All the rooms have been updated with all the conveniences you would expect from a modern hotel. There are 12 rooms in total to choose from. Many believe that the mansion’s original dwellers have chosen to remain behind after death to keep an eye on things.
Marrero’s was built in 1889 by a man named Francisco Marrero. He was a prominent cigar maker who owned a local cigar factory that is now another resort called The Southernmost Inn. Marrero fell in love with a woman 24 years younger than himself named Henriquetta Hernandez. Marrero built the mansion with the intention of luring Hetty, his young love, to Key West. His plan worked. Francisco and Henriquetta were married and had eight children together. While Francisco was away on business in Havana, he died from mysterious causes. Some say it was at the hands of a rival cigar maker. Henriquetta was devastated.
About six months after Francisco’s death, a stranger came from Cuba to claim the Marrero estate. Apparently, Francisco was married to another woman, his first wife, Maria Marrero in Cuba. They were never divorced. Henriquetta was banished from the mansion with her children on June 16th, 1891. After the court proceedings ended, Henriquetta publicly announced from her front porch, “This is my home forever. I will always remain in spirit.”
Henriquetta Marrero and all of her children died, most from tuberculosis or diphtheria, within a few years after being thrown out of their home.
She apparently returned to the house after her death. Both guests and hotel staff have felt her presence in the house, it is apparently strongest in Room 18. However, everyone is quick to agree that she is a benevolent spirit, just keeping an eye on things. After spending three nights in Room 18, we completely agree.
Francisco’s first wife sold off the house and all its contents and returned to Cuba. The house changed owners and purpose many times over the years. It was a casino, a bordello, a restaurant, and now a hotel. People have reported sensing Henriquetta in all the house’s different business settings.
It is said that if Henriquetta disliked guests, she would sway the chandelier back and forth. Crying babies at night at this adults-only establishment can be heard in rooms 17 and 23, the former nurseries. And there are the occasional doors locking and opening by themselves. We heard a crying WOMAN - it's on this video!
Those who have seen her climb the stairs believe there is nothing to fear. It is a benevolent spirit that comes to offer protection. Some feel a well-being, as if they were visited by a grandmother.
The silhouette of a gentleman, a man from another time, sometimes moves stealthily in the portal. Some say it is Francisco who has come to ask Henriquetta for forgiveness.
We are proud to share our investigation of Marrero’s Guest Mansion in Key West Florida.
