Among the writers and artists that Tennessee Williams met while living in Key West was the Pulitzer prize-winning poet Elizabeth Bishop who first came to the island in the 1930s. In 1938, she purchased a nineteenth century clapboard Eyebrow house at 624 White Street, where she lived until 1946. In a letter to Marianne Moore she described the house: "The house seems perfectly beautiful to me, inside and out. In the yard we have 1 banana tree, 2 avocados, 1 mango, 1 sour-sop, 11 grapevine (1 bunch of acid-looking grapes) and 2 magnificent lime trees, one loaded with large limes."
