The subscribers and readers of Florida Monthly magazine’s 11th annual Best of Florida Awards have named the Custom House in Key West the “Best Renovated Building” in the state. Florida Monthly asks its readers to vote for their favorite in each category and to return their ballots by a set deadline. The results appear in the September issue of the magazine. President and Publisher of Florida Monthly Doug Cifers notified Claudia Pennington, CEO of the Custom House, of the award in a letter. “The votes have been counted and the winners in 126 categories have been named,” he wrote. “Your dedication to excellence has attracted enough attention from our readers to name you the Best of Florida.” Monroe County businesses and museums received 15 awards from the magazine, including Best Community College, FKCC; Best Places to Watch Sunset, Mallory Square; Best Restaurant with a View, Sundowners, Key Largo; Best Cheeseburger, Margaretville; Best Guided Tour, Conch Tour Train.
