From the Florida Division of Historical Resources website:

St. Augustine HORACE WALKER HOUSE 33 Old Mission Road. ca. 1888. Masonry Vernacular. Two stories. The residence was built using custom mold-formed concrete blocks known at the time as “artificial stone.” Concrete block construction was in a developmental stage in the late 19th century, and the Walker Blocks exhibit typical characteristics of smooth/rough opposite surfaces, and iron rod reinforcement. The home was built along eclectic lines, reflecting contemporary Moorish Revival buildings within St. Augustine. The house is rare for both its style and material. Private. NR 1998
