In addition to the white beaches, turquoise waters and mild Caribbean winds, Key West has a unique cultural landscape that attracts tourists. It is the small White House where former US President Harry Truman once rested. It was built in 1890 as a dormitory for naval officers. By 1946, President Truman began to work and rest here, laying the foundation for subsequent American presidents to follow suit. Today, the official function of the "Little White House" no longer exists, it is simply the perfect place for tours and private parties. However, there are still some traces left by President Truman.
