Welcome to Aviles street in St Augustine, Florida, the oldest street in the USA

Aviles Street in St Augustine Florida is the oldest street in the nation and an original art district as well as the location for an early church, cemetary, a jail, hospitals, boarding houses and schools. Through the years there have been alot of stores and memorable people selling their wares. Later in the 1960's it was the original location of the Tropical Tradewinds Lounge. Aviles Street was renovated a few years ago with help from the city and was made sidewalk cafe friendly and now is the home to bar and restaurants with sidewalk seating.

Across the street from the General Kirby House, which is now the home to the Historic Society is the Hamblen- Holiday Building. Built in 1864 and 1885, the building is actually 2 warehouse buildings built by Hamblen Hardware that were joined together and renovated into studio spaces. This building now houses retail spaces on Aviles Street and Charlotte Street and artists' studios on the 2nd and 3rd floors.
