Fogarty Mansion (Fogarty House)

[1] After Charles’ death, the house was purchased for his daughter Corinne by her husband Dr. Joseph Norman Fogarty as a wedding present in 1900.

[1] Dr. Fogarty, for whom the house is now known, was mayor of Key West when the Overseas Railroad linked the island to the Florida mainland for the first time in 1912.

He was a prominent and wealthy member of the Key West community who used his property to host a number of important events.

In December of that year, he held a reception for William Howard Taft, who stopped in Key West on his way to inspect the Panama Canal.

[3] The Flying Monkeys Saloon is the site of an original piece by late Key West artist Captain Outrageous.
