Sánchez de Ortigosa House

The Sánchez de Ortigosa House is located at 60 St. George Street, St. Augustine, Florida.

[1] Restoration Commission Director Earle Newton stated that First Spanish Period homes did not last because the English tended to tear them down for use of the building materials and replace them with wooden structures.

[2] During the time of the living history museum San Agustín Antiguo in St. Augustine, the Sánchez de Ortigosa house served as a First Spanish Period carpenter's shop.

The Preservation Board also had a contract to construct furniture for the Southern Bell Telephone Company building to go up on Charlotte Street.
