St. Augustine Survey, Part IV West Augustine and the Subdivisions of Fort Moosa Gardens and Saratoga Lakes St. Augustine Survey, Part IV West Augustine and the subdivisions of Fort Moosa Gardens and Saratoga Lakes Prepared for City of St. Augustine St. Johns County, Florida by Meghan Powell, Historian Meagan Scott, Preservation Planner Sarah McDonald, Architectural Historian Patricia Davenport-Jacobs, MFA HP HK197193 June 2020 ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC., A Terracon Company 7220 Financial Way, Suite 100 Jacksonville, FL 32256 (904)470-2200 St. Augustine Survey, Phase IV West Augustine & Fort Moosa Neighborhoods EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Environmental Services, Inc., a Terracon Company (ESI) of Jacksonville, Florida conducted an architectural survey of structures in St. Augustine, specifically the area known as West Augustine and the subdivisions of Fort Moosa Gardens and Saratoga Lakes, for the City of St. Augustine, St. Johns County, Florida between November 2019 and June 2020. The survey was conducted under for the City of St. Augustine to fulfill requirements under a Historic Preservation Small-Matching Grant, grant number 20.4.sm.200.058, “St. Augustine Survey Part 4.” The objectives of the survey were to, at a minimum, record 600 combined original and updated resources using Florida Master Site File (FMSF) forms for all resources 45 years or older for planning purposes. ESI utilized the Historic Structure Form v5 and assessed the eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as well as assess their eligibility for contribution to a historic district. All work was intended to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966 (as amended) implemented by 36 CRF 800 (Protection of Historic Properties), Chapter 267 F.S. and the minimum field methods, data analysis, and reporting standards embodied in the Florida Department of Historic Resources (FDHR) Historic Compliance Review Program (November 1990). All work also conformed to the professional guidelines set forth in the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation (48 FR 4416). Field survey methods complied with Chapter 1A-46 Florida Administrative Code. The architectural survey consisted of pedestrian investigation to field verify all historic resources, including architecture, objects, or linear resources (such as roads and railways), within the project area constructed in 1975 or earlier. Data from the St. Johns County Property Appraiser and the FMSF was collected and cross referenced to insure the accuracy of information and the correlation with respective buildings and developments. Research conducted at local and state repositories focused on the historical context of the project area. Initial estimates for the project included one thousand and thirteen (1,013) parcels which met the age criteria in the project area. In total, 887 historic resources were assessed through a desktop reconnaissance and pedestrian inspection, including two (2) statues, one (1) railroad, and (1) cemetery. Of the surveyed structures, ESI recorded a total of 795 resources using the FMSF form. Of those recorded, 325 resources were previously recorded and were updated; the remaining 468 resources were recorded for the first time. This survey resulted in the potential eligibility for six (6) National Register Historic District’s (NRHD) within the survey area; including 365 resources considered potentially eligible or contributing to a potential NRHD; 371 resources were considered ineligible or non-contributing structures; and fifty-seven (57) were considered to have insufficient information to determine their eligibility. In addition, ESI recommends further investigation into two areas that may be eligible for listing as a Historic Conservation District, as well as one (1) historic property that may be individually eligible from the NRHP. An electronic copy of project GIS data layers showing all surveyed resources is included with the final deliverables to the City of St. Augustine and the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources. Final deliverables include both new and updated FMSF forms, maps, images, and all other associated data; a Survey Log Sheet and associated map; and a file geodatabase. An inventory of resources can be found in Appendix A of this report and the Survey Log Sheet and map can be found in Appendix B. An overall report map of the survey area can be found in Appendix C and Appendix D contains details on the city’s demolished structures within the project area. i St. Augustine Survey, Phase IV West Augustine & Fort Moosa Neighborhoods AKNOWLEDGMENTS This project was financed in part with the historic preservation grant assistance provided by the Bureau of Historic Preservation, Division of Historical Resources, Florida Department of State, assisted by the Florida Historical Commission. This survey and subsequent report would not have been possible without essential feedback from city staff concerning the historic context as well as oversight on the recordation of historic resources with the FMSF. The consultant and authors would like to thank the City of St. Augustine Planning & Building Department and Historic Preservation Officer Jenny Wolfe and the St. Augustine Historical Society, especially Charles Tingley and Bob Nawrocki for their help, conversation, and extensive knowledge. The St. Augustine City Commission and the Historic Architectural Review Board should be commended as their tireless effort to promote and record St. Augustine’s history. The St. Johns County Property Appraiser and the Florida Master Site File staffs were invaluable, for providing baseline information for the project team to build upon. The team also would like to thank Virginia Savage McAlester, author of A Field Guide to American Houses and preservationist extraordinaire. The project team would like to thank the citizens of West Augustine and Fort Moosa neighborhoods for their appreciation of their neighborhood and desire to preserve and better their community. They permitted photographs and answered questions to the best of their ability. ESI hopes this survey will continue to provide helpful information for future historic preservation in the neighborhoods. ii St. Augustine Survey, Phase IV West Augustine & Fort Moosa Neighborhoods Table of Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ........................................................................................................................................................... i AKNOWLEDGMENTS ............................................................................................................................................................. ii Table of Figures ......................................................................................................................................................................... v Table of Tables ........................................................................................................................................................................ vii INTRODUCTION ....................................................................................................................................................................... 1 SURVEY CRITERIA & METHODOLOGY ........................................................................................................................... 2 The Importance of Historic Preservation ................................................................................................................. 2 Background Research and Previous Surveys .......................................................................................................... 3 Survey Criteria ..................................................................................................................................................................... 5 Survey Methodology .......................................................................................................................................................... 7 HISTORIC CONTEXT ............................................................................................................................................................. 10 1513-1783: Colonization and the American Revolution .................................................................................. 10 The region west of the San Sebastian River from 1763 to the 1874 ...................................................... 13 1821 – 1860: Territorial and Statehood Period ................................................................................................... 13 1861 – 1900: Civil War & the Flagler Era ............................................................................................................... 15 New Augustine, 1861 - 1900 ................................................................................................................................... 17 1901 – 1941: The Florida Land Boom and the Great Depression ................................................................ 18 New Augustine, 1900 – 1941 .................................................................................................................................. 19 1942 – 1959: World War II and the Aftermath .................................................................................................... 20 1960 – 1975: Contemporary St. Augustine & Civil Rights ............................................................................... 21 Specific Subdivision and Area Histories .................................................................................................................

  • 2.0 Current Freight Rail System and Services in Florida
    Investment Element of the 2010 Florida Rail System Plan 2.0 Current Freight Rail System and Services in Florida 2.1 Overview The Florida rail system is comprised of 2,786 miles of mainline track, which are owned by 15 operating line-haul railroads and terminal or switching companies, as well as 81 miles owned by the State of Florida. Florida’s rail system includes 2 Class I Railroads (CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern Corporation), 1 Class II (Florida East Coast Railway), 11 Class III (Alabama and Gulf Coast Railway AN Railway, Bay Line Railroad, First Coast Railroad, Florida West Coast Railroad, Florida Central Railroad, Florida Midland Railroad, Florida Northern Railroad, Georgia and Florida Railway, Seminole Gulf Railway, and South Central Florida Express) and 1 railroad specializing in switching and terminals (Talleyrand Terminal).9 The largest operator in the State is CSX Transportation, which owns more than 53 percent of the statewide track mileage. In 2008, Florida’s railroads carried nearly 1.6 million carloads – 19 percent less than in 2006 – and approximately 83 million tons of freight, representing a 25 million ton (23 percent) decrease from 2006.10 During that year, railroads handled freight equivalent to roughly 5.0 million heavy trucks.11 Nonetheless, railroads continue to support thousands of jobs throughout the State and assist Florida’s industries to remain competitive with international and domestic markets for fertilizer, construction rock, consumer goods, paper products, processed 9 U.S. Class I Railroads are line-haul freight railroads with 2007 operating revenue in excess of $359.6 million (2006 operating revenues exceeding $346.7 million).

THE FIRST RAILROAD IN JACKSONVILLE by PAUL E. FENLON Though the factors responsible for the failure of Florida to ex- perience the rapid economic development which took place in the vast western areas of the United States during the latter half of the nineteenth century are numerous and diverse, lack of ade- quate railroad transportation, certainly until the 1880’s, stands out as one of the most important. Midway in the nineteenth century there was not in operation a single mile of railroad in the entire State of Florida. 1 Further- more, the development of railroad transportation facilities that did take place during most of the remainder of the century was spo- radic and relatively unplanned.

  • Territorial Florida Castillo De San Marcos National Monument Second Seminole War, 1835-1842 St
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Territorial Florida Castillo de San Marcos National Monument Second Seminole War, 1835-1842 St. Augustine, Florida ( Seminole Indians, c. 1870 Southern Migration The original native inhabitants of Florida had all but disappeared by 1700. European diseases and the losses from nearly constant colonial warfare had reduced the population to a mere handful. Bands from various tribes in the southeastern United States pressured by colonial expansion began moving into the unoccupied lands in Florida. These primarily Creek tribes were called Cimarrones by the Spanish “strays” or “wanderers.” This is the probable origin of the name Seminole. Runaway slaves or “Maroons” also began making their way into Florida where they were regularly granted freedom by the Spanish. Many joined the Indian villages and integrated into the tribes. Early Conflict During the American Revolution the British, who controlled Florida from 1763 to 1784, recruited the Seminoles to raid rebel frontier settlements in Georgia. Both sides engaged in a pattern of border raiding and incursion which continued sporadically even after Florida returned to Spanish control after the war. Despite the formal treaties ending the war the Seminoles remained enemies of the new United States. Growing America At the beginning of the 19th century the rapidly growing American population was pushing onto the frontiers in search of new land. Many eyes turned southward to the Spanish borderlands of Florida and Texas. Several attempts at “filibustering,” private or semi-official efforts to forcibly take territory, occurred along the frontiers. The Patriot War of 1812 was one such failed American effort aimed at taking East Florida.

    F O R I M M E D I A T E R E L E A S E A Few Tickets Left For Freedom Trail Luncheon After a tremendous demand, there are only a few tickets left to attend the Fourth Annual ACCORD Freedom Trail Luncheon, which will take place at the Casa Monica Hotel on Friday July 2 at 11:30 AM. The date marks the 46th Anniversary of the signing of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the luncheon honors the local heroes and sheroes of the St. Augustine Movement led by Dr. Robert B. Hayling, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. United States Congressman John Lewis of Atlanta, an original Freedom Rider (along with St. Augustinian Hank Thomas) and one of the "Big Six " leaders of the civil rights movement who spoke at the famous March on Washington in 1963 will be the keynote speaker. Dr. Kathryn Fentress, guest speaker, was labeled an ‘outside agitator’ when she came here 46 years ago, though her home was in nearby Ormond Beach. She was arrested June 11, 1964, on the steps of the Monson Motor Lodge Restaurant along with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rev. Ralph Abernathy, Rev. William England (Chaplain of Boston University), and Clyde Jenkins for seeking to be served. She spent her 20th birthday here in jail. The second Dr. Robert B. Hayling Award of Valor, sponsored by Florida State Senator Anthony Hill will be presented to Mr. Clyde Jenkins. He was a local barber beaten unmercifully in 1963 at a Ku Klux Klan rally near the modern-day Big Lots store, along with Dr.

APPELLANTS MISCHARACTERIZE WATERKEEPERS FLORIDA AS “LITTLE MORE THAN AN ALTER EGO OF ST. JOHNS RIVERKEEPER.”1 Contrary to the characterization of Waterkeepers Florida that was made in the Appellants’ Response, Waterkeepers Florida is not at all an “alter ego” of St. Johns Riverkeeper. It is, in fact, a separate entity comprised of multiple waterkeeper organizations across the state (of which the St. Johns Riverkeeper is one) each having equal input as to Waterkeeper Florida’s activities. Waterkeepers Florida is composed of thirteen (13) separate Waterkeeper organizations working in the State of Florida. Therefore, the issues addressed, the geography covered, and the number of participants in Waterkeepers Florida extends far beyond that of the St. Johns Riverkeeper organization, and the implication by Appellants that Waterkeepers Florida is merely an alias for a single member organization is false.
