González–Alvarez House
González-Alvarez House
A coquina house built in the early 18th century, regarded as the oldest surviving Spanish colonial residence in Florida.
The house was built in the 1720s and was modified by occupants from the Spanish, British and American periods. It is a National Historic Landmark. It is operated by the St. Augustine Historical Society, and admission includes a guided tour, the nearby Manucy Museum and the gardens. It is located in the southern part of the old town, slightly away from the main tourist street, so it is quieter.
