National Register and Historic Documentation
The magnificent
classic Revival home of prominent builder John T.
Sawyer was constructed in 1888 on its
original site at the southeast corner of Duval and
Fleming streets, and moved in 1912 on a rolling platform
pulled by mules to make way for the Kress commercial
structure, now FastBuck Freddies. Noteworthy for
its detailing, its symmetry, its fine craftsmanship,
the
unique fretwork and elegance of design, this Key
West National property was placed on the National Register
in 1970 and is included in both the original (1970()
and the Expanded (1983) National Register Districts.
It is also listed as a contributing building on the
state and city Historic Registers.
