U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, Key West Station
U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, Key West Station, Coast Guard station in Key West, United States.
The U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters occupies a brick building with limestone foundation at the corner of Front and Whitehead Streets in Key West.
The structure, built between 1856 and 1861, supported the East Gulf Blockade Squadron during the Civil War and later housed the Naval Administration until 1923.
The headquarters represents the evolution of maritime security in Florida, from early customs enforcement and piracy prevention to modern coastal protection services.
The station coordinates search and rescue operations, maritime law enforcement, and navigation assistance across 55,000 square miles of waters near Cuba and the Bahamas.
This facility stands as the oldest brick building in Key West and received National Register of Historic Places recognition in 1973.
