St. George St. Restoration Area
The designated area includes St. George Street from Orange to Hypolita Street. The majority of the colonial structures on St. George can be found here. The Spanish Quarter is also inscribed in it.
City Gate - Puerta de Tierra
Taken from Bryant, 1872. | City Gate: 1808; restored 1906 |
Taken from Chapin, 1884.1 St. George
Taken from Goller, 1991. | Caption on photograph: "The Harris studio at 1 St. George Street, near the city gate, about 1909. Left to right are W.J. Harris, Herb Thrasher, John G. Harris, W.R. Hites, and A.A. Cummins." There is also a note about Hypo, Harris' dog. |
13 St. George
| Location of G.W. Chavis barber shop in 1899. Chavis is listed as one of two "colored people" with business or residence on St. George Street in the Directory of St. Augustine. This information can be verified in the 1899 Sanborn map. Chavis resides on Abbott Street. By 1910 the Sanborn map shows that the use had changed to "manicuring". Segregation in the late 19th-century forced African-Americans to "create their own community institutions" [Adams, p.37], and apparently conduct their affairs within a sector of town. Linconlville is partly a result of that movement. |
14 St. George
Taken from Manucy, 1992, p.75. | Genopoly House: 1804. Adams and Weaver place its time of construction during the Second Spanish period. De la Rocque's description mentions a "Juan Yenopoly" with a wood house on Block no.7, lot. 53. Manucy categorizes it as a "one-and-a half-story house type". |
35 St. George
Taken from Chapin, 1884. | Caption on engraving: Residence and Office of Dr. Goodrich. The 1899 Directory of St. Augustine places Dr. Goodrich at 35 St. George St. The 1899 Sanborn Map shows a two-story dwelling on that location. In 1910, the Sanborn Map lists the building as a dwelling. |
37 St. George
The 1899 Directory of St. Augustine places S.M. Mayes "Shoes and Boots" shop here. The 1899 Sanborn Map verifies its location right next to Dr. Goodrich's dwelling. However, by 1910 according to the data on the Sanborn Map for that year, the structure housing the shoe store has disappeared. It should be noted that S.M. Mayes is one of two "colored people" listed as having businesses on St. George St. in 1899. Today no. 37 is part of the Spanish Quarter.
39 St. George
Blair Reeves:1965, fig.154. | Caption on the photograph: Street Façade, No. 39 St. George Street. No family name is provided. Manucy locates it in his Map of Colonial Buildings, but gives no further details. 39 St. George in de la Rocque's description is probably Block No. 7, lots 44-46 owned by Don Pedro Josef Salcedo. It was originally owned by a member of the Avero family. In the Directory of 1899, R.K. Gatchell a grocer, it is listed at this address. |

It is indexed in the 1899 Sanborn Map on the east side of St. George St., between Cuna and Hypolita Street. It seems to have changed ownership by the 1910 Sanborn Map, when it is listed as the "Cozy Inn". |
