Truman Annex

[2] The winter White House for President Harry S. Truman was located there, from its days as part of the former Naval Station Key West.

Formerly the Truman Annex Naval Station, this award-winning, mixed use redevelopment sits on 45 acres in the heart of the Key West historic district.

In 1986, Pritam Singh purchased the 43-acre property from the GSA for $17 million and began the redevelopment initiative considered to be one of the most successful highly-regulated and permitted real estate projects in Florida history.

This complex redevelopment project of over 800,000 square feet was completed in 1996 with 425 classic conch style, single family homes, high end condominiums, a hotel, affordable housing, parks, marina, retail, commercial and museums.

Much of the annex was sold to private developers who have made it a gated residential community (which does not create a barrier to visiting the Truman White House within this area), while 32.4 acres (131,000 m2) were transferred to the City of Key West at no cost to be used for green space and to protect a neighborhood known as "Bahama Village" which is home to many citizens of African-Bahamian descent.
