"The charming two-story house so distinctive to St. Augustine offers tangible evidence of Spanish settlement in the New World. Long before Pedro Menendez de Aviles founded St. Augustine, houses similar to the loggia-and-balcony houses of St. Augustine existed in his home province of Oviedo and in nearby Santander. The special feature of the casa Santanderina design, which Manucy calls the "St. Augustine Plan," is a roofed balcony over the street or the yard that anticipates the "Florida room" of this century. On both the north coast of Spain and the northeast coast of Florida, the porch excludes the cold wind and admits the sun in winter; it lets in the breeze and tempers the hot sun in summer. Upon its first publication thirty years ago, this classic volume contributed to an awakening of interest in St. Augustine architecture; it continues to be the basic reference tool for colonial period restoration and for the ongoing archaeological and anthropological research in the city. In detailed drawings and nontechnical language, the book identifies basic house types and records their dimensions, construction techniques, materials, and design details from foundations to roofs. It has been the cornerstone that enabled the St. Augustine government to frame architecture guidelines for preservation and restoration of existing historic buildings, reconstruction of lost structures, and construction of contemporary homes in designs that are compatible with the historic architecture.".

Very Early Booklet With Tourist Information On The Marine Life Exhibited At The Marine Studios Circa 1939/1940, Scarce With Only A Few Copies In Institutional Holdings Shown In Worldcat. A Fine, As New Example. Marineland Was First Conceived By W. Douglas Burden, Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, Sherman Pratt, And Ilya Andreyevich Tolstoy (Grandson Of Leo Tolstoy) As An Oceanarium That Could Be Used To Film Marine Life. A Site Was Selected On The Atlantic Ocean South Of St. Augustine, Eventually Known As The Town Of Marineland. The Site Of Marineland Is Within A 20,000-Acre (8,100 Ha) Grant Given To London Barrister Levett Blackborne In 1767. The Well-Connected Blackborne, Grandson Of Sir Richard Levett, Lord Mayor Of London, Never Settled His Grant (Nor Even Visited Florida), And Eventually Blackborne's Plantation Was Regranted To John Graham, A Georgia Loyalist Fleeing The Revolutionary War. Ultimately, The Land That Is Today Marineland Was Broken Up Over The Years Into Smaller Parcels.Financing And Construction Presented Challenges As Marineland Was The First Attempt At Capturing And Sustaining Sea Creatures. These Challenges Were Overcome. Construction And Engineering Were Carried Out Arthur Franklin Perry Co. Of Jacksonville. On June 23, 1938, "Marine Studios" (The Name "Marineland Of Florida" Would Later Be Adopted) Began Operations With Its Main Attraction A Bottlenose Dolphin. Unexpectedly, Over 20,000 Tourists Clogged Highway A1a To Visit The New Attraction. For Many Decades Marineland Consisted Of Not Only The Oceanariums But Several Amenities Including A Motel (Marine Village Court, Marineland Motel And Quality Inn/Marineland); Dolphin Restaurant And Moby Dick Lounge; Periwinkle Snack Bar And Sandpiper Snack Bar; Marineland Marina; Plus Fruit Shop And Gift Shop; And A Pier At The North End Of The Facility. A Texaco Service Station Was Adjacent To The Periwinkle Snack Bar, And Greyhound Bus Lines Stopped Regularly During Its St. Augustine To Daytona Beach Run. The Total Property Area Consisted Of 125 Acres (51 Ha) Sandwiched Between The Atlantic Ocean And The Intracoastal Waterway. Originally Planned For The St. Augustine Area, Residents Of That Community Did Not Look Favorably On The Attraction Being Located There; Thus The New Site South Of Matanzas Inlet Was Chosen. Having The Grandson Of Leo Tolstoy Involved In The Project Helped Marineland Become A Very Fashionable Destination In Its Early Days, Prompting Writers Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, John Dos Passos, And Ernest Hemingway To Visit Moby Dick's Bar Located There. Ms. Rawlings Was Married To Norton Baskin Who At One Time (1950S/Early 1960S) Was The Operator/Manager Of The Dolphin Restaurant/Moby Dick Lounge. The Park's Facilities Were Very Popular With Tourists And Also Used For Numerous Movies, Including Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954) And Revenge Of The Creature (1955). Trained Dolphins Became An Additional Attraction In The Early 1950S As Marineland Became One Of Florida's Major Attractions, Attracting Over 900,000 Visitors Per Year With Peak Attendance In The Mid-1970S. The Opening Of Walt Disney World Resort In 1971 Gave A Major Boost To The Attraction's Annual Attendance.

Clean and bright interior with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. A crease in the lower outer corner of the front cover; short creases to the spine ends. -- This is a historical monograph and archival study authored by Sister Thomas Joseph McGoldrick, who served as the congregation's archivist. It functions as a formal record of the Sisters of St. Joseph of St. Augustine, published through a self-publishing platform to preserve the order's specific regional history. The book chronicles the history of the Sisters of St. Joseph from their 17th-century French origins to their 20th-century American mission. The 1866 Mission: It details how eight French sisters arrived in Florida to educate and evangelise newly freed slaves following the Civil War. Archival Research: The text is unique for its inclusion of translations of over 100 letters written by the sisters back to France, providing a rare primary source account of pioneer life. Struggles and Advocacy: It documents the sisters' role during yellow fever epidemics, their teaching of Apache Indians, and their 1916 arrest for violating Florida state laws that prohibited white teachers from educating Black students. Modern Era: The later chapters cover the congregation's adaptation following the Second Vatican Council and their ongoing ministries into the 21st century. Local Significance: Within St. Augustine and the wider Catholic community of Florida, the book is regarded as an essential "basal" text for understanding the state's post-Civil War social history. Historical Primary Source: By translating previously inaccessible correspondence, McGoldrick provided historians with new data on 19th-century ecumenism, racism, and healthcare in the American South. Social Justice Context: The book is relevant for documenting early Catholic resistance to Jim Crow laws, particularly through the sisters' legal battle for the right to teach Black students.
