Hop- kins, after a rescarch extending over a perfod of two years has recelved coples of official records In the “Archives of the Indles” at Seville, Spain, showing that the structure he now occuples was erected sometime bhetween 1668 and 1603 by one Gon- zalo Mendez. The king of Spain purchased the huilding in 1604 as a residence for the Spanish governors of Florida and it served as such untik I"lorida was transferred to the United States in 1821, In the archives at Seville were found officlal “letters and dispatches of the governors in Florida seen in council from the years 156% to 1610" and one referring to the purchase of 4 home for the governor in St. Augus- tine indicated that the housing situa- tion In America more than 300 years ago was little better than it has been the last few years. It read: “To His Majesty from the Gover- nor Pedro De Ydarra on the Sth day of January, 1604: “In this city they have never had a house for the governor and when 1 arrived they lodged me in a house which was built over®the seas, and it was so cold and damp that two gover- nors died here.

Even the owner himself has never Leen well in it, nor have I been so ¢lnce my arrival. “For this reason, there being no house to live in here, Gonzalo Mendez decided to build one and this he did in a good location. “It is proposed by the officials of Your Majesty here that Your Ma- jesty purchase said house of Gon- zalo Mendez as a dwelling for the governors. They have these dwellings everywhere but here.” The records show the petition was approved and the building was ap- praised at $10,500 by officials named for that purpose. After some bar- gaining, however, Mendez agreed to take $10,000 cash for the structure and it was purchased for that price.
