Harry Truman could have spent his time away from Washington any place he wanted. He chose Key West. Relaxing in his 'winter White House', he once wrote, ''I’ve a notion to move the capital to Key West and just stay.'' So many presidential days were enjoyed here that the Officer’s quarters became the 'Little White House' and the Naval Station it occupied was renamed the Truman Annex.
Bordered by Old Town’s lively streets with fine shopping and gourmet restaurants and on the other by spectacular seaside sunsets, the breeze-blessed Annex is the city’s premier waterfront property. It was accessible only to visiting Presidents and the U.S. Navy for more than 165 years. Today, visitors to the Annex enjoy the lush, very private setting of its 45 beautifully landscaped acres. It contains many old Navy buildings with historic and architectural significance, which were renovated into stunning residences. New condominiums and townhouses in a wide range of sizes and styles were built to complement the historic buildings.
