Paul Bartola Canova was a Steam Boat Captian on the St John River, Paul
also had a large mercantile store in the Jacksonville Fla. area.
Antonio Canova built a one-and-a-half-story yellow residence in 1839 at
42 Bridge Street in Saint Augustine, Florida. Now known as the Dow House,
it is a rare example of a frame Florida Territorial Period structure.
Paul Bartola Canova made it his home after his marriage the following
year.
The Dow House originally stood on a lot facing Saint George Street.
Between 1904 and 1910, the houes was moved to its present Bridge Street
location to make room for a newer structure, today known as the Howells
House.
Distinctive features of the house include a modillioned door cap and
Greek Revival corner blocks which adorn both dormers. The beaded
weatherboard exterior was a style common in the United States during the
late 18th to mid-19th century, but is rarely found in Saint Augustine.
Much of the interior woodwork of the house is constructed using pegs.
The house is named in honor of Kenneth Worcester Dow, who reassembled all
of the original Canova/Spear properties into what is today the Saint
Augustine Historic Museum Center complex.
