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
