Marerro's Guest Mansion
Marrero’s Guest Mansion located at 410 Fleming Street in Key West is an elegant nineteenth century Victorian mansion and is said to be haunted by the spirit of Enriquetta, the wife of the original owner of the house, Francisco Marrero.
Francisco, a prominent cigar maker, built the house in 1889 to lure his love, Enriquetta, to Key West. Francisco and Enriquetta married and had eight children. At that time, Key West was the center for the cigar industry, and Francisco made his money as a prosperous cigar producer. He was a native of Cuba and often made trips back there. On what would be his last trip back, he died under suspicious circumstances. As one could imagine, Enriquetta was distraught, losing her love and was left with eight children on her own.
However, this was not the only blow to Enriquetta. A few weeks after hearing of her husband’s death, she then learned that Francisco had a wife back in Cuba that he never divorced. She came to Key West, and claimed her rights to the estate in court, where she went on to win.
When Enriquetta went to leave her house for the last time, she promised as she was being evicted for all to hear, "You are witnessing a great injustice today, and though you are removing me from my home, you should know that this house is rightfully mine; and with God as my witness I will always remain here in spirit."
Enriquetta's sad story ends with her death and the death of all eight children within two years of her eviction. Enriquetta has seemed to have kept this promise for countless visitors over the years have seen her ghost in room 18 while at the site. Owner John Diebold has noticed that guests staying in rooms 17 and 23 have reported sounds of babies crying at night.
