González-Alvarez House, Spanish colonial residence in St. Augustine, Florida, US.
The González-Alvarez House features a coquina limestone first floor and wooden second story with clapboard exterior along St. Francis Street.
Built in 1723, this residence underwent modifications during Spanish, British, and American periods, including Major Joseph Peavett's addition of glass windows.
The house exhibits Spanish colonial architectural elements combined with British modifications, reflecting the changing influences in early Florida settlement patterns.
The St. Augustine Historical Society conducts guided tours every thirty minutes through the house museum, which operates daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The structure contains a dedicated museum section displaying five centuries of Florida coastal maps that document regional development through different colonial periods.
