This Alligator Border View, titled The Old Spanish Sugar House, Daytona, Port Orange Florida, is actually The Old Dunlawton Sugar Plantation. It's also states that it was built in 1705.
We found out while researching it's history, conflicting story/history/date. So we borrowed some history to share; "It was mistakenly labeled as ruins of an old Spanish mission from the 1600s" "During the War, 1835-1842, the mill was burned down. The Anderson family received no money after the war to help rebuild the mill so it was abandoned until John Marshall bought it on September 18, 1846. John Marshall rebuilt the plantation and it was again productive from 1849 until 1853. Several different managers failed to run it productively and it eventually returned to the Marshall family. It was burnt down again in 1856 during the Third Seminole Indian War. In 1862 it was a camp headquarters for the St. John Rangers during the Civil War. Throughout the war, the kettles were used for the production of salt for food preservation and ammunition. The property was finally sold to William Dougherty in 1871. Between 1871 until 1904 the property was divided and sold off in smaller lots." Well worth continuing the read. Please visit and credit above history/text here - |
