Quintessential Grand Key West Estate! The James J. Curtis House c. 1874 was acquired by the Navy in 1903 and the home became The Marine Officers Quarters known as M2.
The Curtis house is the ONLY home in the Truman Annex that exists in its original location. This masterpiece is representative of a late nineteenth century vernacular know as a ''Conch House'', free of gingerbread, simple in its design, shingle roofing, weathered siding with louvered shutters. As it exists today it is one of the finest examples of ''Conch House'' Architecture in Key West.
