Casa Cayo Hueso Photo

Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)

This photo features the house that is the Southernmost in the United States. It was made in 1900s. The current owners are the Ramos-Lopez family. They are one of the oldest merchant families in Florida. They were first established in St. Augustine during the Spanish colonial period, around the 1600s. This is just about all I know of the house.

It has its historical information in a sign outside. I wonder if it is still there. I like those old colonial houses. I lived in one a long time ago. It was yellow, with white doors. That was a little game I used to play with my old man. We used to walk down the street and name the colors of the houses.

It was a good way to teach a kid the colors. As for the house, it is a hotel at the moment. It is also a museum. In the old days large families used to live together in the same house. Now, most people get kicked out of the house as soon as they turn 18.
