HISTORIC ST. AUGUSTINE PRESERVATION BOARD


RESTORATION PROPOSAL
JUAN YANEDA (MONTGOMERY) HOUSE
ST. AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA



The Juan Yaneda House (known locally as the Montgomery House) is

located on Treasury Street within the Historic District (National Register)

of St. Augustine. It is a small coquina dwelling dating from the first

decade of the 19th century, in the Second Spanish Period. The basic fabric

of the house remains, and later additions have been removed, but as indi-

cated in the accompanying photographs prompt restoration is required to

prevent further deterioration. The owners will donate the property to the

Historic St. Augustine Preservation Board if funds for restoration can be

secured.

Restored for adaptive use, the Yaneda House will preserve one of the

relatively few colonial buildings remaining in St. Augustine, and will add

greatly to the visual character of the restored area of the Historic

District.

I. PROJECT COST

Requested funds in the amount of $40,800 will be used totally

for the restoration of the structure and development for adap-

tive use. A breakdown of the estimates are given below:

Architectural services $ 3,400.00
Carpentry 13,000.00
Masonry 12,000.00
Plumbing 2,200.00
Heat and Air 2,000.00
Insulation and waterproofing 1,200.00
Electrical 1,800.00
Landscaping 1,500.00
Miscellaneous (10%) 3,700.00
Total $40,800.00







II. MATCHING FUNDS

Matching funds for the project consist of the fair market value

of the property, based on the lower of the two independent

appraisals attached, and the cost of archeological research to

be supplied by the applicant. As stated above, the property

will be donated to the Historic St. Augustine Preservation Board

by the owners if funds for restoration are forthcoming. The

two sources of matching funds total $46,500.00, as follows:

Value of property $42,500.00
Archeological research 4,000.00
Total $46,500.00

III. MAINTENANCE

The completed structure will become a part of the properties of

the Historic St. Augustine Preservation Board, a state agency,

and will be maintained as part of the continuing program of that

agency.

IV. ADAPTIVE USE

The house will be adapted to residential use with as little

alteration to interior detail as possible and with strict

restoration canons applied to the exterior.
