Tour the graceful frame and coquina house, a block north of the city's Plaza de la Constitucion, and step into history.
Hear stories of its Spanish and British occupants as well as a succession of local families who lived in the house until 1837 when Dr. Seth Peck bought the property.
Admire the 18th - 19th century Peck family furniture. Reflect on the works of 19th century Florida artists Martin Johnson Heade, W. Staples Drown, Felix De Crano and others. Listen to the story of Polly, Miss Anna's treasured parrot. Observe at close range two original Audubon colored engravings. One is by J.J. Audubon and the other by his son, J.W. Audubon.
The Woman's Exchange of St. Augustine is truly part of the historic St. Augustine experience
To preserve an original Spanish colonial residence built in the 1740's as the home of the Royal Spanish Treasurer.
Exchange volunteer guides conduct visitors throughout the house filled with Peck furnishings including priceless 18th century American antiques. Visitors are encouraged to explore 254 years of history.
