This home was built in 1925 by Charlie Johnson, The current owner purchased this house in 2004 from the estate of Mrs. Mable Keys, a native of Punta Gorda. Her husband, Arnold "Slim" Keys, ran Keys garage on Taylor Street. Mable lived in the house for over 60 years until her death in October 2003 at the age of 91. Mabel was a philanthropist and active member of local organizations including the Punta Gorda Garden Club. When the current owners, Kathy Sutton, restored the interior of the house they discovered the original yellow pine flooring as well as an original brick fireplace that had been covered over. They have stayed true to this home's design other than some minor kitchen upgrades and newer porch windows installed by a previous owner. This home and garage withstood Hurricane Charley with little damage.
