The home dates back to 1865 and was later moved back 40 feet as part of a renovation, according to an article on travel website FunInKeyWest.com. The mansion was only sold one other time in 1920 when it was purchased by the Freeman Curry family.

"T. Jenkins Curry and his wife, Muriel Louise Thompson purchased the home from the Filers, having moved to Key West from the Bahamas," according to the travel website. "Mr. Curry was a descendant from the Curry family. The Curry family were Loyalists during the American Revolution."

The Curry family fled the Carolinas to the Bahamas and were given a land grant from Charles III, the website explained.

"Although, not open to the public, the home is a great example of how a Classic Revival home looks like it belongs in Key West," the website added. "The home shows its Bahamian influence, like a lot of Key West homes. There are under-eaves brackets in the Italianate style along with the transom and paired doors keeping with the style. The double porches are welcoming and offer spots to sit in the shade."
