We're thrilled to announce that Gator State Storage at 2010 Staples Avenue in Key West, Florida, has been featured in the May 2026 edition of Modern Storage Media's "Smart Art" article. This national publication spotlights innovative uses of murals in self-storage facilities, and our property stands out as a prime example of blending history, art, and community connection.
Located in the heart of Mid Town Key West, right across from Key West High School, our facility occupies a building originally constructed in 1926 as a cigar factory. The murals on our property beautifully reference this heritage—one side styled like a classic cigar box label—while the opposite wall showcases a soaring heron framed by stylized palm fronds, capturing the essence of the Florida Keys.
As noted in the feature, murals do more than beautify a space. They deter graffiti, strengthen community ties, and turn functional buildings into neighborhood landmarks. At Gator State Storage, these artworks celebrate Key West's rich culture while providing a welcoming environment for our customers.
