Pellice De Burgo House History

The Pellicer-de Burgo House is a reconstructed example of a British Period (1764-1784) structure. The original wooden structure was built as a duplex by Minorcans José Peso de Burgo and Francisco Pellicer, who both fled Andrew Turnbull’s plantation in New Smyrna Beach. The houses were reconstructed in 1977 by the State of Florida after archaeological excavation of the lots to locate the original duplex foundations.
