Audubon House and Tropical Gardens, Historic mansion with tropical gardens in Key West, United States.

The Audubon House is a three-level Captain's home built in the American Classic Revival style of the mid-1800s at 205 Whitehead Street. Its brick-pathed gardens cover one acre and hold orchids, bromeliads, an herb garden and an 1840-style nursery. Inside are European antique furnishings and 28 first-edition works by John James Audubon.

Captain John Huling Geiger, Key West's first harbor pilot, built the house in the American Classic Revival style of the mid-1800s. Slated for demolition in 1958, it was saved by the Mitchell Wolfson Family Foundation and restored by Alfred Milton Evans and his sons using shipbuilding techniques. The Audubon House Museum opened in 1960.

The house displays works documenting an artist's fascination with Florida's bird species through detailed illustrations and printed materials. Visitors can see how this naturalist's observations shaped the understanding of local wildlife during his time.

The house and gardens sit at 205 Whitehead Street, a short walk from Duval Street and the Hemingway Home. Visitors follow a brick path through the one-acre garden, which includes an herb garden and an 1840-style nursery, before touring the house.

A naturalist and artist visited the house in 1832 and discovered several previously unknown bird species while in the area. His drawings from that visit document birds he found in this specific setting.
