I walked down the street and touched the outside walls of the foundation. You can tell that it's an old house, it was built between 1803 and 1817. St. Augustine was founded in 1565!
Be careful, they close capriciously, ignoring their posted hours. Call ahead to make sure the're taking visitors.
Great Tour !
This one is really old. :)
Bem interessante :)
