The Gonzáles House and the De Hita House are located at 35 St. George Street, St. Augustine, Florida. Both houses are reconstructions of First Spanish Period (1565-1763) homes built on their original foundations.

History

A 1763 Spanish map shows that at the same lot stood a coquina house belonging to Bernardo Gonzáles and a tabby house belonging to Gerónimo de Hita[1]. Both of these men served in the mounted dragoons and lived near the Castillo de San Marcos. When the two left Florida at the start of the Florida’s British Period (1763-1783), the properties went to Jesse Fish, who in turn sold them to Captain Andrew Rainsford. The lot was vacant for much of the 19th century.[2]

Historic St. Augustine Preservation Board

The Historic St. Augustine Preservation Board purchased the land where the Gonzáles and De Hita Houses once stood with funds donated by Elizabeth Towers, a member of the board.[2] Archaeological digs led by Dr. Kathleen Deagan of Florida State University revealed the original foundations.[3] The reconstruction of the two homes was completed in 1979 with funding from the Florida Bicentennial Commission.[4]

Present Day

Today the Gonzáles and De Hita Houses operate as the Taberna del Caballo,[5] a Spanish themed restaurant that is part of St. Augustine’s Colonial Quarter Museum. It is managed on behalf of the state by University of Florida Historic St. Augustine, Inc.
