Property Description
There is so much history preserved in this special cottage in the heart of Lincolnville, in St. Augustine, Florida. The home is historically significant regarding the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. When Dr. King came to St. Augustine during the campaign that led to the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, he stayed in the home as a guest of Janie Price. Beyond the deep history, the location and home itself are charming. Walk to restaurants, shopping and downtown events or enjoy the Galimore Center, Eddie Vickers Park or the Dr. Robert B Hayling Freedom Park, all under 1 mile from home. Or sit on your porch and enjoy the breeze while neighbors stroll by. Vintage one of a kind "cracked quarry tile" porch floors are in excellent condition and the wood ceiling is the perfect compliment. Inside find original wood floors thorough the bedrooms and main living areas. Many original details remain in the home. It has been carefully maintained over the years.
