My you and your lovely family really felt the inner pulse of my Key West.
Two things one late Philip Burtons,adoptive father of actor Richard Burton and Shakespearian World authority home or former 608 Angela was purchased by him as a broken down wooden Black Sea Captain gift to one of his children so as to be near him. The house is at the base of Solaris Hill 608!Angela Street. Philip was a dear friend a gentle giant whose credentials are too numerous however ,his home a any Welshman as he and Richard both born in Wales could feel at home all natural unpainted wood 1975 – 2021 upon whose porch literary lions would sit and sip Sherry . Then diaster someone looking for a trophy home purchased his 608 Angela for 1.875.000.00 and painted the natural brown home YELLOW . I am sure there is a reason I am writing at now 3:00 am do google The Azul Guest House on Truman it is of Queen Anne Architecture , my Mothers former home as her father was son of Walter Sayers Lightborn famed Cortez
Cigar Company . The LaPensione Guest house my great grand father’s home a grand two story wooden structure . The Lightborns originated from the Bahamas ,Royalist (those who fought in the American Revolution ).
Finally , diaster has struck once again The Cypress House all natural Cypress Wood recently vannished painted many coats of White.
In closing I have always wanted to turn Philips House into a Shakesperian Retreat and Conservatory. In NY and L.A. Philip Burton was the founder of American Musical Directors Academy that stands today and to his credit. It hurts.
