[5] The Julee Cottage was built in Pensacola from cypress wood between 1804 and 1808 (although some sources date it as early as 1790).
[3][6] The building has a tin roof and has a platform frame construction, similar to architecture of the Creole cottages in Louisiana.
[2][6] One of the building's earliest owners was Julee Panton, a free woman of color.
[1] The cottage was sold to another freedwoman named Angelica and was later passed on to other black families.
[6] The cottage has been relocated from its original site in order to preserve it,[3] and it has a historical marker.
