#132 - GONZALEZ-ALVAREZ HOUSE - THE OLDEST HOUSE

The overall size of this early photo is 8 x 10 inches.

This was taken by W. A. Cox of St. Augustine. I have several in a group here and they would appear to be about the 1880's. Damage is a scuff on the lower right corner of the photo.

For more than three centuries this site has been occupied by St. Augustinians. Beginning about 1650, a succession of thatched wooden structures were their homes. This coquina stone house was built soon after the English burned St. Augustine in 1702, and originally was a one -story rectangle with two rooms. As times changed during the Spanish, British and American occupations, a wooden second story, an off-street porch, and other features were added. Preserved by the St. Augustine Historical Society since 1918, the house became a registered national landmark in 1970.

Price is 135.00 Delivered USA. As always return privileges.
