OLD MANSION INN

This stately mansion was constructed in 1872 by Lucy Abbott, a spinster from North Carolina. It is one of the oldest and most architecturally significant homes in the area and is on the National Register of Historic Places. In it’s life the Mansion has been a boarding house, school, convalescent home, guest house, restaurant, studio, art gallery, rental apartments, and business office.

The Mansion is one of two structures that dominate the northerly view from Saint Augustine City Gate. It was remolded in 1921 by owner Beverley D. Causey from the original Second Empire style to the current Colonial Revival style you see today. The architect was Fred A. Henderich.
