The Hemingway House in Key West was the home of US Nobel Prize winner Ernest Hemingway and his second wife Pauline for a good ten years. It is now a private museum. Built in 1851 in American Colonial style, the building has a wrap-around porch and is set in a large park-like garden. About 40 cats live in it today, all descendants of Hemingway's own cats. Some of the original furniture has been preserved in the house.
