The Dow Museum of Historic Houses combines interactive experiences, exhibitions and objects to tell the story of Florida's historical and cultural development. This noteworthy Museum is made up of nine historic homes, dating from 1790 to 1910, as well as the collections of museum benefactor Kenneth Worcester Dow. The property highlights both St. Augustine and Florida history making it the perfect place for visitors to begin their tour of America's Oldest City. (Formerly known as Old St. Augustine Village.)
This historic one-square-block area displays a rich collection of architecture, architectural ornaments, antiques, and fine art on display. Through self-guided or conducted tours, visitors have the chance to learn about the lives of the original occupants placed in context within the greater story of the development of Florida from the Colonial to the Territorial Period, and from Statehood to the Flagler Era.
The second-oldest structure on the property is the Dow House (above). This house was constructed by Antonio Canova in 1839, and was originally located where the William Dean Howells House currently stands on St. George Street.
In 1906, the Dow House was moved to its current Bridge Street location by Mary Hayden, the widow of a presperous hotel proprietor. She moved the structure so she could build the Howells and the Rose Houses as winter cottages for St. Augustine visitors.
Mr. Dow purchased the Dow House in 1941 from the oldest living resident in the city, Sarah McKinnon. At the time, Sarah McKinnon was 98 years old and the deal stated that Mr. Dow would grant her life tenancy in the house in exchange for ownership. The agreement was approved and Ms. McKinnon lived to be 103.
