Early homes such as the Rodríguez House had flat wooden roofs and no fireplaces.

[1] The St. Augustine Restoration Inc. decided to take on reconstructing the Rodríguez House in the late 1960s using funds donated by Edward Ball of Jacksonville, Florida.

[2] During the time of St. Augustine's downtown living history museum, San Agustín Antiguo, this structure was used to house craft demonstrations such as pottery making.

[3] Evalina Manucy, of Florida State University, demonstrated pottery in the Rodríguez House in 1968, having already worked for the Board as a weaver, baker, and candlemaker.

Today the Rodríguez House is a retail store, St. Augustine Textiles, started by Jon Williams, re-enactor.
