I lived there for about a year (2008) and have traveled back for a visit. It was wonderful to read about it through your eyes! You took beautiful pictures, too! I'm excited to find your blog - I can't wait to read more.Beth @ Free Stylin'https://www.blogger.com/profile/05681706136760889320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266207533455747708.post-15602230231041361012011-05-23T20:58:49.890-04:002011-05-23T20:58:49.890-04:00Vacationed in Key West in August 2010.

My husband took many many photos, many just like yours.

My old apartment I use to live in on Bay Harbour Island (Miami Beach) had Florida Pine wood floors.

Surviving original Key West houses were constructed from Dade County Pine which is a subspecies of the northern Heart Pine, only Dade County Pine is even more dense. It's native to Florida, which explains why it is resistant to Florida's weather and pests, but it is no longer in existence.

Sadly most visitors don't stop to notice or learn about it. Your article though, may well open some fresh eyes.
