Ernest Hemingway lived in this Key West home from 1931 to 1939, when he wrote some of his best-known short stories, and today it's been restored to how it looked at that time. The garden is full of tropical plants and cats, supposedly descended from those the author kept (although there's some dispute as to whether he ever owned cats at this house).
