    Caption: "Key West Residence of Judge Harris, Most Southern Point in the United States July 2, 1934." View of the Queen Anne-style Victorian mansion constructed in Key West by Judge Vinning Harris in 1897. The home was originally touted as occupying the southernmost point in the U.S., resulting in the colloquial name "Southernmost House." During the Prohibition years (1920-1933) the house operated as a speakeasy, with a restaurant and casino. In 1939, it was converted to use as a nightclub. Today, it has been renovated for use as a bed-and-breakfast.
