Beautiful Black and White Photos of 19th Century Victorian Houses of Florida -
From Author's Note:
"This volume of photographs focusing upon contemporary architectural images of Key West evolved from a desire to document a rapidly changing environment. Nowhere else in Florida does such a grand and magnificent display of 19th century wood frame structures survive. Few other cities in America can claim such a collection of Victorian houses.
These photographic images represent an exploration into the basic simplicity and virtual timelessness of architectural forms in Key West. They impart, too, a sense of diversity within building styles typified by common features."

A Key Read -
Sharon Wells captures the essential character of the Key West architecture so well in the book. Filled with lovely black & white images, it is a must for any photography lover or fan of Key West and it's distinctive style. I just wish it were longer! =]
