The governor’s mansion that the English destroyed in 1702 was afterward appraised at 8,000 pesos (5,818 ducats). In that siege all but 20 or 30 of the cheaper houses were damaged irreparably; 149 property owners reported losses totaling 62,570 pesos. The least valuable houses ran 50 to 100 pesos; the average ones, 200 to 500 pesos. Arnade mentions eight families owning property worth over 1,000 pesos, with the most valuable private house appraised at 6,000. [Note 28: Arnade, Siege of St. Augustine.] (Bushnell KC)
