Pass by the Prince Murat House at 246 St. George Street in St. Augustine. Prince Achille Murat (nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte) and American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson stayed here in the 1820s to fight a bout of illness. This 1790 coquina house is an excellent example of Second Spanish Period architecture.

Stop at Aviles Street in St. Augustine for 10 minutes. Extending south from the Plaza to Bridge Street, Aviles Street is one of the city's narrow, brick-lined, historic streets that has retained much of its colonial character.

Pass by the Father Miguel O'Reilly House Museum at 32 Aviles Street in St. Augustine. With parts of the structure dating back to 1691, the O'Reilly House is St. Augustine's oldest standing home. Father Michael O'Reilly moved into the house in 1785 and was a leading figure in the cathedral's construction. Upon his death in 1812, he left the house to the Catholic Church. It is now operated as a museum by the Sisters of St. Joseph.
