Historic Preservation

The garage building at the corner of South and Blanco Streets is thought to be the last surviving slave cabin in St. Augustine. It was part of Buena Esperanza (Spanish for “Good Hope”) Plantation, which occupied the southern part of Lincolnville during colonial times. The owners of the garage permitted archaeologists to dig on their property in 1995.
