The smallest house on the island, this was built
in the 1950s as a copy of the classic Florida East Coast Railway
architecture. It's name is a misnomer. Long thought to have been
built by the president of the University of Miami for his daughter's
wedding, a visitor to Pigeon Key in 1996 who had worked on the construction
of the house revealed that it was built to house the maid and nanny
for the children of the families in charge of the Overseas Highway
Toll Authority that occupied the island until tolls were removed
from the bridge in the 1950s. It currently houses a deputy sheriff
who provides security for the island.
