:: Santa Maria West Site
1814 Brickell Ave
Year Built: 1898-1899
Date Designated: March 5, 2013
The Santa Maria West Site is significant on a local level because of 1) a Late Archaic cemetery associated with the possible ancestors of the Tequesta Indians; 2) a habitation site associated with the Tequesta; 3) its use as a Spanish American War military encampment. The site encompasses a prehistoric cemetery that dates from as early as ca. 1000 B.C. This cemetery component is below, and predates a Glades period midden located across the property.
