From Dr. Bronson's History Page:

"By 1909 one of the leading businesses in St. Augustine was cigar rolling. The Solla-Carcaba Cigar Factory at 88 Riberia Street was completed at this time as a building to be given away in a contest. Fred A. Henderick made the plans for the building."

The building now serves as office space for several different businesses.
