Spanish settlers first lived on this site dating back to the 1600s. Tomas González Hernandez built this Spanish Colonial home in the early 1700s when the area was still under Spanish rule. Over time it became known as the González-Alvarez House. The last owner, George Reddington, sold it to the St. Augustine Historical Society in 1918. This National Historic Landmark is now part of the Oldest House Museum Complex.
