The Audubon House and Tropical Gardens is a historical property on Whitehead Street in Key West that was once the grand home of a mastership wrecker and renowned maritime boat pilot. Taking guests back in time to mid-19th century Key West, the mansion was built in the 1840s by Captain John Huling Geiger as a residence for his family, who lived there for more than a century. Pegged for destruction in 1958, the Geiger mansion was saved by the nonprofit educational organization known as the Mitchell Wolfson Family Foundation, lovingly restored to its former glory and open to the public. Today, the magnificent home reflects the elegance and grandeur enjoyed by the wealthy family in Key West during flourishing times of the ship-wrecking industry. Audubon House and Tropical Gardens is located Whitehead Street in Key West.
