The Salcedo House and Kitchen are located at 42 and 42 1/2 St. George Street, in St. Augustine, Florida. They are reconstructions of 18th century structures that stood on these sites in St. Augustine's First Spanish Period (1565–1763).
The Salcedo House was a dwelling constructed in St. Augustine's First Spanish Period (1565–1763). By the end of this period the house belonged to Alfonsa de Avero. Avero, her sisters living nearby, and their families left St. Augustine with other Spaniards when Florida was transferred to the British with the 1763 Treaty of Paris. During the British Period, Thomas Stone, Leonard Cecil, and Robert Johnston owned the property, consecutively. When Spain regained Florida with the 1783 Treaty of Paris, Pedro Jose Salcedo, Captain of the Royal Corps of Artillery, bought the lot.
From 1796 to 1801, general from the island of Santo Domingo and early leader of the Haitian Revolution Georges Biassou lived in this house.[1][2] In 1805, Minorcan fisherman and farmer Pablo Sabate bought the house.[3]
