Notes

General Note:
[On the corner of] Ave. Menendez & Treasury St.; Built for Spanish Royal Officials the double wall at the base was to protect it from the sea. The olny [sic.] house in the city with a double base, providing beyond doubt that it was built years previous to the old Spanish sea wall. Contains first city jail, old fashioned fireplaces, and bears the unique distinction of having two distinct roofs, one being of solid Coquina, to protect it from the flaming arrows of the Seminoles. Visited by all tourists.; 994
