“CrissCross” | A Major Motion Picture Filmed in Key West

Damian Vantriglia, aka, “The Lizard King of Key West🦎” landed a leading role as “Buggs” in the major motion picture film “CrissCross,” a Key West movie starring @GoldieHawn and filmed on location here in Key West! Damian was impressive to the movie producers and the casting director with his lizard tricks. What Damian did was clamp lizards onto his ears and nose - where they’d hang obediently. “I just put them to sleep, I don’t harm them,” Damian explained. Damian would catch the friendly geckos and pet them gently to sleep. Sometimes he would keep one for a day in his terrarium, feeding it “Vitafly,” nutritious freeze dried flies. In the film, Goldie Hawn delivers a moving portrayal as a poor, single mother left to raise her young son in a seedy Key West neighborhood after her troubled, Vietnam vet, husband leaves the family to take up residence at a monastery. When Tracy reluctantly resorts to dancing at a strip club to make more money, Chris begins to take on odd jobs to help her out. Unfortunately, his work transporting freshly caught fish leads to unforeseen trouble for Chris and his struggling mother. Damian is pleased to become a member of TEAM KAUFELT with Truman & Co., Real Estate Services selling property in Key West and the Lower Florida Keys. Born and Raised in Key West, Damian has a strong appreciation of the island and its amazing community. Damian's community involvement includes: Support Keys Schools, Take Stock in Children, Monroe Computes, Monroe Association for ReMarcable Citizens, Bahama Village Music Program, Reef Relief, and many others.
An avid boater, Damian is passionate about his island home - its past, present, and future. "I look forward to sharing the best that the Florida Keys has to offer, while assisting you to achieve your Real Estate goals."

Historic Key West Commercial Real Estate: The Coffee Mill

Locals and tourists alike know this landmark property located just off Truman Avenue as The Coffee Mill. Built prior to 1907, the property was home to an active coffee bean processing plant until the 1950’s. In recent years, the building was famously home to one of Key West’s most popular dance studios.

The current owners have done extensive renovations to update the space to today’s standards while maintaining many of the historical features of the property. Updates include a complete modernization of the electrical and plumbing systems, new central A/C and ductwork, masterful restoration of the original hardwood floors, and the construction of private treatment rooms and a business office — all while preserving the original exterior and character of the building.

The MLS listing says describes the property this way: “Features include multiple skylights, a period correct metal shingle roof, beautiful historic arched transom windows salvaged from Henry Flagler’s Casa Marina hotel, and an updated bathroom. The property is up to current building code and ADA compliant, and was awarded a Ceramic Star for historic preservation and a Certificate of Excellence by The Historic Florida Keys Foundation. The Coffee Mill has been a staple in Old Town for over 100 years and continues to be an important part of the historic district.”

A Classical Revival Eyebrow House

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and awarded the gold star for for historic renovations, 516 Elizabeth Street is the perfect example of a classical revival eyebrow house. An eyebrow house is a style of architecture, which is unique to the Florida Keys and the Caribbean Islands.

In architecture the windows of a building are often referred to as the “eyes” of the structure. Eyebrow houses got their name due to the overhanging porch roof that partially obscures the second floor windows and protects them from direct sunlight, keeping the house much cooler than it otherwise would have been.

The design had its origins in the living conditions of Key West’s sub-tropical climate. Long before electricity was available for fans or residential air conditioning had yet to be invented, this design was part of a high tech cooling system that blocked the sun and took advantage of the cool breezes from the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean.

Along with the covered windows, eyebrow houses used cooling techniques based on the knowledge that cool air settles and hot air rises. As a result, the house has features such as a raised foundation on blocks or piers to facilitate air circulating beneath the house. Eyebrow houses also have double hung windows made up of an upper and lower sash throughout the entire house. On the first floor, the lower sash of windows were opened to let cooler air into the house and on the upper floor, the upper sash of the windows opened a pathway for escaping hot air. The circulation of cooler air throughout the homes could drop the overall temperature of the building by 5 to 10 degrees.

Another element of eyebrow houses was their wide front porches. The shaded area was a great space to catch a breeze and enjoy an indoor – outdoor living style.
