KEY WEST DOWN SOUTH
A Giveowoy and Then q Borqoin

KEY WEST, Fla. - 1t has
never been recorded how Juan
Salas felt when the King of
Spain gave him this salt pond
studded island for services
rendered" as a young artillery
officer from st. Augustine.
In any event, his reaction
became evident when he turned
around and sold it to John
Simonton for $4,000 in 1922.
Three months later Navy Lieut..
Matthew Perry raised the 23-
star American flag over the
iSalnd.
Undoubtedly the flag was
raised on one of the few small
sections of land in what is now
the downtown and Mallory
Square areas of a constantly
growing. tourist attraction.
Key WeSters hope that even
tually the Old Mallory Square
or docks area at the north
west corner of the island will
become a show place. Current
ly completed are a convention
hall, a new fishing dock and
boating facilities, and a little
theater playhouse.
Open Air Market
Chamber of Commerce Of
fices will move later this year
to the tourist center. Other
proposed attractions will in
clude an open-air market, fea-
turing typical Key West prod
uctS.
The five-blockS-long by two
blocks-wide visitor center will
be tropically Handicapped and
will include a walled Spanish
garden and an art center.
The area also takes in the
Key West Fabrics House, not
ed for silk screen hand print
ing. The firm, which ships
cloth of colorful tropical de-
signs around the world, has
restored the Old Harbor House
in Mallory Square.
Built almost a century ago
