The gate on Virginia Street squeaks and the sea-salt air sharpens as you step into a dim courtyard; the old firehouse watches you back, its brickwork folded into Key West's layered past. Inside, floorboards remember boots and hoses, and the light of your flashlight turns corners into possible answers or new questions.
