Duval House: A Historic Treasure Restored
From Blight to Bright Teal in 37 Days
Nestled at the midpoint of Duval Street in the heart of Key West's Old Town, the Duval House has been lovingly restored to its former glory.
The History of the Duval House
The Duval House is named after William Pope DuVal, the first civilian governor of the Florida Territory, who served from 1822 to 1834. The house was built in 1839 and has since been a hotel, a boarding house, and a private residence.
The Restoration
In 2018, the Duval House was purchased by a group of investors who embarked on a meticulous restoration. The team worked tirelessly for 37 days, transforming the dilapidated building into the vibrant teal charmer it is today.
The Result
The restored Duval House now welcomes guests with its Caribbean-style charm and modern amenities. The bed and breakfast offers 10 spacious rooms, a lush courtyard, and a convenient location just steps away from Duval Street's shops and restaurants.
The Duval House is a testament to the rich history and architectural heritage of Key West. Its restoration is a triumph of perseverance and a reminder of the enduring spirit of this vibrant city.
