William Joseph Curry (September 11, 1821 – January 24, 1896) was a Key West businessman and Florida's first millionaire.
After fighting in the Seminole War for several years, he returned to Key West and climbed the corporate ladder.
[3] Urban legend holds that the Curry kitchen was the birthplace of the original key lime pie, created by a cook known as Aunt Sally.
[3][4] In 1905, Curry's son Milton demolished and rebuilt the home as a Victorian mansion that still stands today.
In 1975, Edith and Al Amsterdam bought and renovated the Curry Mansion and turned it into a bed and breakfast.
