Audubon House and Gardens

Louis Wolfson arrived in Key West in 1902, and opened his Store of Fashion on Duval Street. In 1958 Mitchell Wolfson, Sr., one-time mayor of Miami Beach and native of Key West, bought a dilapidated house belonging to an old sea captain and converted it into a public showcase for John James Audubon's life and work. The Mitchell Wolfson Family Foundation still owns this house.
