Description

When the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, St. Augustine was once already half a century old. Founded in 1565, the city has been often inhabited ever since, and its architectural styles tell stories of boom and bust, fad and tradition, war and peace, modernization and historic preservation.

This affectionate portrait of our oldest city offers a comprehensive survey of the numerous architectural features that have expressed the wishes and preferences of St. Augustine’s inhabitants over more than four centuries of Spanish, British, and American government. From the coquina stone structures of colonial times, through Victorian gingerbread and Henry Flagler’s Spanish revival, to the cookie-cutter subdivisions and condominiums of up to date times, the houses of St. Augustine are introduced on this lovely and readable book like characters in a historical drama. Each and every chapter highlights a broad historical period and includes a full of life discussion of the city’s distinctive character right through that era. Representative styles and sorts of Each and every period are illustrated with color photographs and original watercolors by Jean Ellen Fitzpatrick.
