About this postcard
St. George Street in St. Augustine, Florida, with the small building identified as the oldest frame house in the U.S.A. at left. A white picket fence runs in front, bicycles are parked nearby, and a hair dressing parlor sign hangs along the street; the City Gates close the view in the distance. The card notes that the house was formerly used as a school-house and that its timbers are red cedar, the building known today as the Oldest Wooden School House. Its wooden construction stands out in St. Augustine, a city long associated with coquina masonry, and the scene catches the mix of shops and historic landmarks along St. George Street.
