Other Amenities: This area of the walled Colonial City has been continuously occupied since the 16th century and represents the location of the original 1565 settlement of St. Augustine. All structure in the area were destroyed during the 1702 attack by the South Carolinians. However, by the mid-1700's the Rosario defense line had been erected along the street we're now on (Cordova St.) and extended through the Old City House property.
The Old City House, originally constructed in 1873, is an excellent example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. The coquina stone facade on the Old City House, was built from coquina found on the site, probably remnants from the Sentry station which existed here to guard the S-W corner of the walled city. Legend has it that a ghost of a Spanish Soldier still guards the archway, unaware that he was killed by the misfire of his own musket.
