Ximenez-Fatio House Museum

Ximenez-Fatio House

An 1798 coquina merchant's house that served as a women-run boarding house in the 19th century, with its original interior furnishings well preserved.

This two-story building was constructed by the Spanish merchant Ximenez and later became a boarding house run by women, welcoming early winter visitors who came to Florida to escape the cold. The museum's guided tours introduce 19th-century tourism and the history of women-run businesses, and the courtyard features restored old kitchen and laundry rooms. Located on Aviles Street, it is considered one of the oldest streets in the United States.
