From Florida: A Guide to the Southernmost State in the St. Augustine points of interest section:
The DON TOLEDO HOUSE (open 8-6 daily; adm. 25¢), NW. corner Aviles and Bridge Sts., a square two-story coquina building with a low pitched gable roof, a small overhanging balcony, and broad windows with faded red batten shutters, is typical of the houses erected during the second Spanish occupation. It is entered through a side door of the kitchen that opens upon a large room with a packed dirt and coquina floor. From the kitchen a jointed wooden stairway, to be drawn up at night, leads to an upstairs bedroom. The house contains relics, antiques, pictures, and furniture used by former residents of the city.
Additional information could not be found on this house. It appears to be privately owned and still occupied as a residence.
