We want to thank the Saint Augustine Historical
Society for providing both working space and
research assistance--for the latter we are es-
pecially indebted to Mrs. Eugenia B. Arana and
Miss Ruth Kent. We want also to express appreci-
ation to Mr. Oliver Lawton, Clerk of the Circuit
Court, and his staff at the Saint Johns County
Courthouse for their help. Finally we want to
thank the Mayor-Commissioner, James Lindsley,
for his aid.
The Lindsley House on Saint George Street (St. Augustine t-Fla._7 1923,
Dist. no. 5, block 36, lot 13) is one of the oldest houses in Saint Augustine.
A structure built of stone can be located on the site "With Reasonable Certainty"
at the time of the First Spanish Evacuation in 1763. The exact construction
date of the house is uncertain, however (Edwards and Peterson 1961). Its
earliest documented owner is Don Diego Horruitiner y Pueyo who owned it at the
end of the First Spanish Period (1565-1763) (Puente 1764: Block Q, no. 215).
Unfortunately, no material has come to light on him, but it is probable that he
was a member of the prominent family that included two Florida Governors--
Luis de Horruytiner and Pedro Benedit Horruytiner.
At the end of the First Spanish Period, the property passed through a
number of hands. Charles Delap is the second documented owner (Delap 17 ?).
He was a Justice of the Peace during part or all of the British Period (1763-
1784) (Works Projects Adm. 1941: Vol. 4, 171), and somehow acquired the
property--perhaps from Diego Horruitiner y Pueyo but it is not certain. Delap
subsequently transferred the property to Juan Josef Eligio de la Puente (Delap
17 ?).
Puente was a native of Saint Augustine. Born July 1, 1724, he was the
son of Antonio Ligio de la Puente of Havana and Augustina Regidor of Saint
Augustine (St. Augustine Hist. Soc. Biog. File). Perhaps the most prominent
Floridian of his century, Puente's career was to include thirty years of military
and civil service (Gold 1969: 204 n. 44). After the loss of Florida he was a
spokesman for the province and its exiled subjects. (Gold 1969: 81) and an
advocate of its recovery (Boyd and Latorre 1953:92). He was to be significant
in shaping Spain's attitude toward the American Revolution (Griffin 1956: 79).
Married February 5, 1747, to Mariana Sanchez, he was the father of a large
family (St. Augustine Hist. Soc. Biog. File).
Puente was the chief officer of Royal Accounts in Florida and returned
to Saint Augustine some nine months after the Spanish evacuation of 1763-64
with orders to dispose of all the remaining Spanish property--Crown, Church
and private. Only a few houses in Saint Augustine had been sold before the
end of the evacuation in January, 1764, and there were few potential purchasers
around. But Puente eventually disposed of all the property before the deadline
imposed by the Treaty of Paris of 1763 (Gold 1969: 38-39, 138). To accom-
plish this, however, he did what other Spaniards faced with/same problem had
done before him. He sold in confidence--he turned over the titles with the
understanding the properties would be sold as the opportunity arose and the
profits returned to the Spanish owners (Puente 1772).
Puente, apparently acting as an agent, sold the Lind-ley property to
James Henderson in July, 1764 (Henry 1801). The nature of this particular
sale is not clear--it may have been an outright sale. The transaction is not
listed in Puente's sales to Henderson (Archivo General de Indias 1764), although
Fatio later certified it (Howard 1785a). But Fatio may have done so to make
the title appear legal. Henderson was a family man and an Innkeeper who
purchased a number of houses and lands from Puente (Archfvo General de
Indias 1764; DeBrahm 1763-71).
For most of the British Period the Lindsley House was the property of
Dr. Robert Catherwood. He had acquired it by the Spring of 1765 and held it
up until the end of the Period (Moncrief 1765; Howard 1785a). Catherwood
was a prominent figure in British East Florida and held several positions in
the government of the colony.
A physician, he was a surgeon at the military hospital in Saint Augus-
tine from 1764 until the end of the British Period and for part or all of the
Period was in charge of "His Majesty's" Hospital there (Siebert 1929: Vol.
2, 359; Mowat 1964: 15; East Florida Gazette 1783). At the beginning of
1777, he complained to the commander-in-chief at New York that he was unable
to borrow a spade, shovel or rake from the garrison to clean the hospital
property with. The result was an order to supply him with the implements
necessary for sanitary uses (Siebert 1929: Vol. 2, 359).
In addition to his duties as surgeon, Catherwood was a member of
"His Majesty's Council for East Florida" from the time it was first set up in
October, 1764, up until his suspension from the body in January, 1783. In the
meantime, he also qualified as a Justice of the Peace in March, 1775,and in
1776 was appointed an Assistant Justice of the Court of Common Law and a
Judge of the Court of Vice-Admiralty (Siebert 1929: Vol. 1, 131-32, Vol. 2,
359; Mowat 1964: 14, 164-65). His various duties, of course, involved him
in the political turmoils of the colony. Dr. Andrew Turnbull, who was at odds
with the Governor and some of the Council in 1776, attacked Governor Patrick
Tonyn and several of the Council members. Catherwood he called a "bad
apothecary who rose to be a worse Surgeon with a proverbial disregard of the
truth" (Mowat 1964: 99).
Catherwood's character is open to question (Mowat 1964: 95). In
January, 1783, a commissioner under flag of truce from Georgia, Colonel
John Skey Eustace, sent a letter to the Council of East Florida charging him
with selling expectations of the award of certain captured Negroes. A Public
Hearing held at Catherwood's request, turned up incriminating evidence to
support the particular charge and other charges as well. As a result, the mem-
bers of the Council unanimously recommended his suspension from his judicial
offices and from the Council until the Crown rendered its decision in the matter
(Siebert 1929: Vol. 1, 131-32).
In February, 1783, Governor Patrick Tonyn sent the proceedings of the
inquiry and the Council's recommendations to the Privy Council in England. He
sent a letter, too, telling how Judge Catherwood's indiscretions and his "open
avowal" of taking extortionate fees "under the denomination of fees of indul-
gence" had aroused a clamor against him. However, it was not until a specific
charge was made that any attention was paid to the rumors (Siebert 1929:
Vol. 1, 131-32; Mowat 1964: 127).
Catherwood and his wife Jane left the province in February, 1785, at
the end of the British Period and went to New Providence in the Bahamas.
There he died in 1786. His widow asked 1, 333 10 s for property lost through
the cession of East Florida to Spain including a house and lot in Saint Augustine
and 1305 acres of land in the province. The Bahama board approved her
estimate, but the final award made in England was i. 705 7 s 6d (Siebert 1929:
Vol. 2, 263, 359).
Carlos Howard bought Robert Catherwood's house and lot in March,1785
(Howard 1785a). Howard was the Secretary of Government of East Florida under
Governor Vicente Manuel de Zespedes--the first Spanish governor in the Second
Spanish Period (1784-1821). He and his assistant were the only staff members
personally picked by Zespedes.
Howard was a particularly valued member of the Spanish occupation
force in East Florida. He brought to his post political experience along with a
military background, a language ability, and general skill. He was a talented
Irishman in his middle years, cultured, fluent in French and English, and
skilled socially. Since 1761 he had served the King of Spain in Portugal, Al-
giers, Brazil, and Santo Domingo. A captain in the Hibernia Regiment, he had
been in charge of cadet training in the regiment for three years. Toward the
close of the American Revolution he assisted the Secretary to the Captain-
General of Cuba with the translation of secret documents.
Ze'spedes credited Howard with placating British elements opposing the
return of Spanish rule in the province. Howard, a skilled undercover operator
and adroit manager, familiarized himself with all phases of the British resistance
movement and fears about a general uprising of British inhabitants lessened
during the summer of 1784 as a result of his efforts. Thus the change of govern-
ment took place peacefully (Tanner 1963: 26, 47-48, 198, 224).
Howard sold the property to Juan Cavedo in September, 1785. The sale
describes the property at this time as a stone house of two stories with its lot
on the street from the Plaza to the Old Church (Howard 1785b). Cavedo was a
Minorcan from Saint Philipi. Born there in 1762, he came to Saint Augustine
where he apparently worked first as a tailor and later as a farmer. He married
Juana Segui and was the father of a large family. Cavedo, however, did not
keep the property for very long either (St. Augustine Hist. Soc. Biog. File;
Works Projects Adm. : Vol. 3, 23-4).
Juan Quevedo /Caved6o7 sold the property to Francisco Antonio de
Entralgo /Entrealgo_/ in May, 1787. The two-story stone and wood house stayed
in the hands of Entralgo until 1801 (Cavedo 1787). The stone or rubble-work
masonry house (Quesada 1790) was in good condition around this time (Rocque
1788) and Entralgo apparently lived there with his wife, Catalina Hijuelas, and
their family (St. Augustine Hist. Soc. Biog. File).
Entralgo sold a southern portion of the property to Juan Farto de Salas
around 1795-96 (Entralgo 1795-96). In January, 1801, he sold the remaining
part of the property with the two-story stone and wood house, with kitchen, to
John Lazaro Henry (Entralgo 1801). So far no information has turned up on
Henry who kept the property for only six months.
On July 31, 1801, Fernando de la Maza Arredondo Senior bought the
two-story stone and wood house from Henry. Maza belonged to a family honored
in Florida history in both the First and Second Spanish Periods. He himself had
an appointment as an orderly on the hospital staff accompanying the occupation
force at the start of the Second Spanish Period. After the death of the Indian
Commissary for the province, Luciano Herrera,in 1788 he succeeded to
Herrera's post. However, Maza officially held only his original appointment
as orderly on the hospital staff for a long time after he assumed his new duties
(Tanner 1963: 94). Twice-married (Antonia Perdomo and Brigide Gomez),
Maza was the father of eight children (St. Augustine Hist. Soc. Biog. File).
The tile-covered stone house (Wilson 1803) stayed in his hands up
until his death in 1833 at the age of sixty-nine (East Florida Herald 1833b:3).
Six years later (March, 1839) it was sold at a public sale in front of the Saint
Johns County Courthouse to a Virginia Watson of Saint Augustine for fourteen
hundred dollars by virtue of two writs of Fieri Facias (a writ authorizing the
proper legal officer to collect a judgment of debt from the property of a person
against whom the judgment has been made). In this case the judgment was made
against Charles Robiou, executor of Maza's estate (Sanchez 1839).
Little information has turned up to date on Virginia Watson. But she
too apparently lost the property, since it was again sold at a public auction in
front of the Courthouse in Saint Augustine. At this sale onDecember 4, 1843,
Charles Robiou, acting for Ora Howard, bought the property for one thousand
six hundred and ninety-five dollars (Beard 1845).
Ora Howard was originally from Mulford, Massachusetts (East Florida
Herald 1833c). He apparently came to Saint Augustine in the 1830's (East
Florida Herald 1833c, 1835a). In his early years here he served as a Commis-
sioner of County Roads and Bridges (East Florida Herald 1835b:2) and opened
a livery stable on Charlotte Street near J. M. Hanson's store (East Florida
Herald 1835c:4) and a bathing house at the sign of the Pavilion. An advertise-
ment for the bathing house carried in the local press read as follows
NEW BATHING HOUSE
NOW OPENED AT THE SIGN OF
WHERE WARM and COLD BATHS
can be taken, and VAPOR and
SHOWER BATHS if wanted,
every Wednesday and
Saturday, and any other
days if 3 baths are required.
Warm baths 50 cents; COLD,
25 cents; by the month,
twice per week, 3 dollars.
Nov 21 1835 Ora Howard
(East Florida Herald 1836: 2)
Howard was also a 3rd lieutenant in Company E of the Saint Augustine Guards
in 1836 (East Florida Herald 1836: 2). In 1850 he was an Inspector of Customs
with an office in the Howard Building on Market Square (Ancient City 1850: 1).
A decade later he was listed as a druggist (St. Augustine Hist. Soc. Biog. File).
Howard mortgaged the Lindsley property in 1846 to Joseph S. Sanchez
who afterwards transferred the mortgage to Joseph Hunter. After the death of
Hunter the receiver of his estate,George R. Fairbanks, foreclosed on Howard who
had not paid the debt. The property was again sold at public auction. The buyer
was George R. Fairbanks, the receiver of Hunter's estate and the complainant
in the suit against Howard, who made the highest bid for it--five hundred dollars
(Gould 1848).
Fairbanks was a lawyer. Born in Watertown, New York, on July 5,
1820, he received his education at Petit Seminaire in Montreal, Canada,
Watertown Academy, and Union College in Schenectady, New York. At Union
College he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree (1839). He subsequently earned
Master of Arts degrees from Union College and from Trinity College in Hart-
ford, Connecticut.
After his admission to the bar of the Supreme Court in New York in
1842, he came to Saint Augustine where he had an appointment as Clerk of the
U. S. Superior Court and District Courts for the northern district of Florida.
He won election to the State Senate four years later and there represented the
counties of Saint Johns, Putnam, Volusia, Orange and Brevard for two years
(1846-1848).
During the Civil War Fairbanks served in the Confederate Army. In
1862 he became Major and quartermaster in the Army of Tennessee and sub-
sequently was put in charge of hospital service in Georgia and Alabama for the
duration of the war. After the war was over, he moved to Sewanee, Tennessee,
where he joined with others to rebuild the war-ruined University of the South
being a charter trustee of the school.
Some fifteen years after the war, he came back to Florida where he
settled at Fernandina. There he became editor of the Florida Mirror in 1880.
A decade later he became president of the Florida Press Association.
Fairbanks spent about twenty years in Saint Augustine. During this time
he became interested in the early history of Florida. He studied the Spanish
language and sought access to original manuscripts in the Spanish Archives
through Buckingham Smith a resident of Saint Augustine who served for a time
as secretary of the U. S. Legation in Madrid.
A principal organizer of the Florida Historical Society at Saint Augus-
tine in 1856, he served as its first vice-president (1856-1861) and second
president (1902-1906). At the first annual meeting in April, 1857, he delivered
a lecture on the early history of Florida. The lecture was afterwards rewritten,
enlarged and published in 1858 under the title The History and Antiquities of
St. Augustine. Several other works on Florida history followed and a year
before his death he wrote and published The History of the University of the
South.
Fairbanks was also interested in Florida horticulture and the cultivation
of citrus fruits. At one time he owned and operated a large grove near Orange
Lake, Alachua County. He helped organize the Florida Horticulture Society
and was its vice-president for a time. He also served as president of the
Florida Fruit Growers Association and its successor, the Florida Fruit Exchange.
In his later years, he lectured on American History at the University
of the South. He died August 3, 1906, at Sewanee, Tennessee, where he had
built a cottage in 1866 on the University grounds. Married twice (Sarah
Catherine Fairbanks and the widow of Reverend C. W. Wright) he was the
father of five children (Fleming 1908: 5-7; Marchman 1940: 49-50; St. Augus-
tine Hist. Soc. Biog. File).
On November 9, 1848, Fairbanks and his wife, Sarah, sold the house
and lot to Fanny Dearborn Hanham of Saint Augustine for seven hundred and
fifty dollars (Fairbanks 1848). She was a native of New Hampshire and the
wife of Captain James R. Hanham (St. Augustine Hist. Soc. Biog. File).
Born in England (St. Augustine Hist. Soc. Biog. File), her husband had been
a member of the first Legislative Council of the Territory of Florida which
met at Pensacola in 1822 (Davis 1946: 207-09). In 1848 he was agent in the
Quarter Master Department in Saint Augustine (Florida Herald and Southern
Democrat 1848: 3). In 1850 he was Ordnance Store Keeper with his office
on Saint George Street a few doors south of S. M. Wakeman's Dry Goods
store. There, along with his other duties, he made arrangements for people
desiring to visit the fort (Castillo de San Marcos) (The Ancient City 1850:1).
Mrs. Hanham left the property--dwelling house and lot--to her two
sons, William and James. William Hanham sold his half interest in April,
1866, to John Lott Philips /PFiillips7 for one thousand dollars (Hanham
1866). Phillips was a long-time resident of Saint Augustine. In his early
years he had a preparatory school in the city (East Florida Herald 1833a:4),
but he later held a number of judicial posts--Justice of the Peace (East Florida
Herald 1838; Florida Herald and Southern Democrat 1845:3),' Clerk of the
Circuit Court (St. Augustine Examiner 1859:4), and Judge of the Probate
Court (St. Augustine Examiner 1860: 3). In 1868 he was Judge of Probate and
President of the Board of Saint Johns County Commissioners (St. Augustine
Examiner 1868:1). Phillips was also involved in real estate (St. Augustine
Hist. Soc. Biog. File). Twice-married (Susan Geiger and Jennie "? 7 Leonardy),
he was the father of several children (St. Augustine Hist. Soc. Biog. File).
John Lott Phillips sold the share of the house and lot that he bought from
William C. Hanham to Annie D. Greeno /Ann Gorrno/ on May 24, 1866, for
the sum of one thousand dollars (Phillips 1866). Mrs. Greeno purchased the
remaining share in the house and lot from the other Hanham heir, James Hanham,
on March 7, 1867, for eleven hundred dollars (Hanham 1867).
Mrs. Greeno owned the property up until her death in February, 1893.
At the time of her death she lived in the house, although she had leased it for
a number of years (Greeno 1885; Alba 1886; Alba, Beecher, and Carver 1891).
In addition to her "Dwelling House and Lot" she owned two houses on Charlotte
Street, a small house near Fort Marion (Castillo de San Marcos) and land on the
west bank of the San Sebastian River and on Anastasia Island. She left the Saint
George Street property to her husband, George S. Greeno (Greeno 1868).
George S. Greeno had come to Saint Augustine after the war /Civil War?/.
A confirmed invalid when he arrived, he was supposedly dying of consumption.
He made a remarkable recovery in the "genial climate, however, and became
a leading citizen (St. Augustine News 1898:8). He went into the grocery and
liquor business with James C. Montgomery at the "Old Stand on Charlotte
Street" (St. Augustine Examiner 1866:3). When the partnership was dissolved
in 1867, he carried on the business by himself (St. Augustine Examiner 1867:3).
At one time he was the mayor of Saint Augustine (St. Augustine News 1898:8).
Greeno leased the property--the lot of land with the Beecher Cottage
(so-called) and other buildings thereon--to the Woman's Exchange of Saint
Augustine in July, 1895. The lease was to run for ten years with the lessee
paying an annual rent of four hundred dollars. There was a clause, however,
which provided for the termination of the lease before the end of the ten-year
period (Greeno 1895).
The Woman's Exchange moved into the Lindsley House in the summer of
1895 (Tatler 1896: 17). Established two years before to help stay-at-home
women earn extra money (Miami Herald 1958; St. Augustine Record 1968),
the Exchange provided employment to many self-supporting women and offered
the public the opportunity to purchase needle work, fancy articles, and home-made
jellies, preserves, and whole fruits as well as various other items (Tatler 1896:
The Exchange was a successful venture and their new location on Saint
George Street gave them added room for displaying their goods and carrying on
their business. They described their new home as one of the oldest in the city
with "an entrance through a gateway and under beautiful arches. The Exchange
rented furnished several rooms in the house (Tatler 1896: 17, 19). Greeno,
however, sold the property in November, 1896, to Horace Lindsley for seven
thousand and five hundred dollars. Consequently, the Woman's Exchange had
their lease terminated and had to seek new quarters (Greeno 1896).
Lindsley was a Physician. Born February 2, 1862, at Beaumont, Penn-
sylvania, he was the son of Edward and Sarah (Lewis) Lindsley. His father was
a Physician, too, but had given up his practice in Salt Lake City, Utah, and gone
into the lumber business in Pittston, Pennsylvania.
Young Lindsley graduated from high school in Wilkes Barre, Pennsyl-
vania, after which he set out on a tour of the West. He visited Colorado,
Idaho, and Utah, and worked at various jobs--particularly prospecting in
Utah. But he eventually returned to Pennsylvania, where he joined his father
in the lumber business. Subsequently, he decided to become a doctor. Having
saved some money from his gold prospecting in Utah, he entered his father's
alma mater, the Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia. He studied there
for about two years and then went on to the Hahnemann Medical College in Phila-
delphia where he earned the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1887.
Dr. Lindsley moved to Saint Augustine in 1889, where he set up a
successful practice and became a prominent member of the community. He was
a director of the First National Bank and one of the organizers of the Commer-
cial Bank--he was President of the latter bank for ten years, after which he
resigned and was elected Chairman of its Board of Directors. Lindsley was a
member of the Saint Augustine Board of Trade and also served several terms
on the Saint Johns County Board of Education. He belonged to the Ashler Lodge,
F. and A. M., the Knights of Pythias and was a Democrat.
Lindsley married Bessie Simpson at Dover, New Jersey, on August
12, 1908. Mrs. Lindsley was born in Dover and was the daughter of James
Houston Simpson and Asenath Lantz Simpson. After moving to her new home in
Saint Augustine, she became active in the community's civic and social affairs
working with Niel Neighborhood House, Kings Daughters, and the Woman's
Exchange of which she was a member of the Board of Directors at one time.
The Lindsleys were the parents of two sons, James Houston Simpson Lindsley
and Horace E. Lindsley.
Dr. Lindsley died at his horreat 214 Saint George Street on January 21,
1937. Mrs. Lindsley continued to live at their home up until the time of her
death in 1964 at the age of 86. At her death she was survived by her two sons,
a sister, and two grandchildren (Lewis Publishing Co. 1923: 313; St. Augus-
tine Record 1937: 1, 1964; Florida Times-Union 1968: B-4).
The property is currently owned by the two Lindsley sons--Horace E.
Lindsley and James Houston Simpson Lindsley, the Mayor-Commissioner of
Saint Augustine.
Mayor Lindsley, who was born onAnastasia Island during a 1909 hurricane,
has been on the City Commission for nine years and is also a real estate broker
with an office in the Lindsley house. His younger brother, Horace E. Lindsley,
who was born in the Saint George Street house, is in real estate in Ormond.
