The building now known as the Southernmost House in Key West was constructed in 1896 as a family home for Dr. Jeptha Vinning Harris and his family. Dr. Harris became a prominent leader in Key West. The Harris' used the finest materials in their house to withstand hurricanes. But because they valued their privacy, the original structure was built with just one bedroom.
