Paredes-Dodge House

The first known owner of the lot is Antonio Jose Rodriguez, as listed on Juan Josef Elixio de la Puente's 1764 map of St. Augustine.

In the same year, St. Augustine was transferred from Spanish to British ownership, and Jesse Fish was charged with finding a buyer for the lot.

[4] Dodge died in 1934 and his widow Emma sold the house to the St. Augustine Historical Society.

[6] It represents many characteristic features of colonial Spanish architecture in St. Augustine, including being set directly onto the street and being built out of coquina and plastered in stucco.

[8] The St. Augustine Historical Society acquired the property in 1934 and began efforts to preserve the building in the late 1940s.

Structural beams were added to the interior and exterior, and a kitchen and bathroom were installed on the second floor.
