    Caption: "Key West Residence of Judge Harris, Most Southern Point in the United States July 2, 1934."

The home was originally touted as occupying the southernmost point in the U.S., resulting in the colloquial name "Southernmost House."

Today, it has been renovated for use as a bed-and-breakfast.
