East and West Martello Towers
was begun in 1861. They were de-
signed to protect the rear of Fort
Taylor and to combat landing for
ceS. Neither of the towers were
completed as this type of fortifi-
cation became obsolete during the
War Between The States, when
modern naval rifles with exploding
shells came into general use.
The name Martello Tower has
long been used to designate mas
onary forts built chiefly on sea-
coasts, generally with thick walls,
and entrances high off the ground.
Forts of this particular construc-
ton were built along the south and
west shores of England and on the
European continent as early as
1541.
East Martello became the pro-
perry of the US Navy and during
World War II, searchlight towers
were erected on the old buildings.
The Key West Art and Historical
Society has a revocable permit to
use the structure for art galleries
and historical museum.

Kew Vests own museum has
many things of special interest to
"old timers" and if you haven't
been out to the historic old Civil
war fort lately, surprise is walt

There are some very good paint
ings of Key West scenes done by
artists who know and love Key
West, there are relices from the
battleship Maine, and DR.. Mudd's
tea set. Mrs. Mudd gave the tea
set, a family heirloom, to the wife
of the supervisor of Fort Jeffer-
son who had cared for her hus-
band during his Imprisonment
there.
The museum in the fort is uni
que in that it contains only ar
ticles from in and around Key
West. A number of Key WesterS
have loaned the museum priceless
family heirlooms,
All articles on loan are given the
best of care and are displayed in
glassed in cases.
1t was partly because so many
of the articles in the museum are
so closely identified with Key West
and its old families, and partly be-
cause the old towner is now one
of the most charming spots on the
Island, that the special day was
planned.
The Art and Historical Society
hopes that the beautiful old gallery
and grounds will be filled with Key
Westers on Sunday afternoon and
feels sure that everyone will en-
joy spending a little while brow
sing around among the interesting
exhibits and seeing the progress
that has been made in turning the
old fort into a museum and art
gallery to be proud of.
The old fort itself is interesting

were brought to Key West from

that northern bricks were too soft
to withstand the action of the salt
spray and high winds.
