For Pritam Singh, the Buck stops in Key West
And now, there’s Pritam Singh, 35, who is dedicated to turning and aged military facility steeped in history into a thriving sub-city that preserves the past and caters to the present.
On March 31, 1974 the U.S. Navy formally decommissioned of the base. Then followed a dozen years filled with bureaucratic indecision, red tape and general Washington, D.C., snafus. Finally, the Truman Annex, a 44-acre parcel plus the 55-acre Tank Island, was put on the public auction block.
The General Service Administration in Atlanta published a colorful brochure to entice bidders, requiring that each must pre-register, place a deposit of $250,000 and submit a bid in writing.
Seventeen parties responded.
Among them was an ex-Catholic whose given name was Paul LaBombard from Fitchburg, Mass. During the 1960s, he had delved deeply into politics, fighting for social justice, political equality and other issues of the day.
But LaBombard grew disillusioned with the leftist movement of the flower children and began traveling the world in search of answers. In 1971, he was baptized a Sikh and took the name Pritam (God’s beloved) Singh (royal lion).

Harry S. Truman, the Inspiration for Pritam Singh’s Truman Annex
The base grew in notoriety following World War II, when Americans elected “the-buck-stops-here, give-‘em-hell” Harry S. Truman of Missouri to their 33rd president. The post-war Navy soon discovered their new commander in chief liked the base at Key West, especially the commandant’s house constructed in 1898.
Within a year after his election, Truman was making regular trips there for relaxation in the Florida sun. Even as late as 1969, visitors to the Keys still could see the jaunty figure occasionally strolling the streets of America’s southern-most town. The naval station long before had come to be known popularly as the Truman Annex.
But Truman wasn’t the only notable name associated with the site over its 165 years. There were Presidents Grant, Taft, Eisenhower and Kennedy; British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan; and Jordan’s King Hussein.

Pritam Singh and the Truman Annex
“Key West is not 19 anymore,” said Pritam Singh, a New England Developer who bought the 102-acre former naval base on the island called Truman Annex in September 1986. It includes the Little White House where President Harry S. Truman used to vacation and the 27-acre manmade islet on which the hotel is to be built. Once known as Tank Island, it housed fuel tanks for the Key West’s Navy installations.

Pritam Singh and the Ultimate Worldly Art
