San Carlos Institute

In September 1998, Hurricane Georges damaged the San Carlos Institute located in the Historic District of Key West, Florida. This historic building was designed, in 1924, by renowned Cuban architect Francisco Centurión to commemorate the location where, in 1871, Jose Marti united the Cuban exile groups in their efforts to free Cuba from Spanish rule. The building was used at that time as a museum / art gallery and library of Cuban historical memorabilia, an active theater and school.
