Overlooking Mallory Square, the Key West Art & Historical Society, located within the circa-1891 Custom House, is one of the Florida Keys' oldest nonprofit organizations. Its mission is simple: to preserve the area's many historic structures, artifacts, and artworks. Its collection is extraordinary: included among its permanent collection are 15 of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tennessee Williams' paintings.
