A settler's "box" home built of Florida longleaf pine from house razed by Robert A. Ezell in Old St. Mary's. One of the structure's three chimneys served as a flue for two cooking units: kitchen stove and dining room fireplace. Ezell (1845-1936), a stonemason, built at this creek site in 1892. His wife Sara Jane, daughter of influential legislator L.B. Camp, was born at Mission San Jose, San Antonio. Six Ezell sons formed a popular orchestra, 1895 to 1904.

Ann Marie Melofsky-Hurst: ... One of the six Ezell brothers is my grandfather, William Ezell. He died of a rattle snake bite. It was really nice to see the history recorded. 1 August 26, 2007
