House was build in 1870s.. This home represents a tumultuous time in Florida.. A time when slave families developed a richly diverse culture.. The slave quarters were homes called tabby..which were constructed by hand using very hot melted down oyster shells dissolved in water..mixed with sand to form a cement this was laid layer by layer to make walls.. It was a very interesting history lesson.. Talked about when Kingsley married Anna he purchased as a slave..he freed the slaves and made a society of liberated blacks that had homes and freedom working on the cotton plantation.
