====Tennessee Williams house==== [[Tennessee Williams]] first became a regular visitor to Key West in 1941 and is said to have written the first draft of ''[[A Streetcar Named Desire (play)|A Streetcar Named Desire]]'' while staying in 1947 at the La Concha Hotel. He bought a permanent house in 1949 and listed Key West as his primary residence until his death in 1983. In contrast to Hemingway's grand house in Old Town, the Williams home at 1431 Duncan Street<ref>{{google maps|url=https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=1431+Duncan+Street,+Key+West,+Fl&ll=24.555906,-81.786261&spn=0.026075,0.05197&om=1 |title=1431 Duncan Street, Key West, Fl |access-date=January 27, 2015}}</ref> in the "unfashionable" New Town neighborhood is a very modest bungalow. The house is privately owned and not open to the public. The Academy Award-winning film version of his play ''[[The Rose Tattoo]]'' was shot on the island in 1956. The Tennessee Williams Theatre is located on the campus of Florida Keys Community College on Stock Island.<ref>{{Google maps|url=https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=5901+College+Road,+Key+West,+Fl&ll=24.577217,-81.746521&spn=0.02607,0.05197&om=1 |title=5901 College Road, Key West, Fl |access-date=January 27, 2015}}</ref> Though Hemingway and Williams lived in Key West at the same time, they reportedly met only once—at Hemingway's home in Cuba, [[Finca Vigía]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/jun/09/cuba.humanities|title=Our men in Havana|last=Dundy|first=Elaine|date=2001-06-09|work=The Guardian|access-date=2019-06-24|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077}}</ref>
