The Rodríguez House is located at 58 St. George Street in St. Augustine, Florida. It is a reconstructed structure where there was once a tabby house during Florida's First Spanish Period (1565-1763). It is part of the St. Augustine Town Plan Historic District.
A Spanish map dating to 1764 indicates that this small two-room house belonged to Antonio Jose Rodríguez, son of Jose Antonio Rodriguez of Seville and Gertrude Morales. The house was most likely demolished during the British Period when British soldiers pulled down tabby houses to reuse the building materials. Early homes such as the Rodríguez House had flat wooden roofs and no fireplaces. The rooms were heated with braziers.[1]
