Unlike the other Conch houses that are to some
degree Key West adaptations of mainland designs, the Eyebrow House
is an island original.
It contains much of the columned elegance of the Classic Revival
temple with its high ceiling front porch the entire length of the
house. The hooded upper windows, giving rise to its name, allow
visibility while remaining shaded from the tropical sun. Second
story space is generous in some cases, and at the same time interestingly
constrained by the roofline angles. In the rear, the roofline descends
to nearly the height of the first floor. The interior is organized
usually around a central hall, which opens onto rooms on each side,
and contains a staircase to second floor sleeping areas.
