Removing and Replacing the Shutters on the Kingsley Plantation Main House

1. Description of Services:

This project entails the removal of thirty-four (34) sets of existing shutters, site preparation, fabrication of new shutters, purchasing new historic replica hardware, installing new wooden shutters and hardware, and repairing any damage from the removal and installation of shutters and hardware on the first and second story of the Main House at Kingsley Plantation. Shutters will be replaced with historically accurate replicas, constructed out of acetylated wood, and will match their corresponding shutter that is currently in place. The current shutters were fabricated and installed in mid-2000s and they have reached the end of their life. This first story contains windows #1-24 and the second story contains windows #25-#34. The style of the shutters will remain the same as they are currently, however the shutter hardware will be changed to be compatible with the historic construction. The structure requires new shutters and hardware that can better withstand the harsh environment of being situated on the North Florida coast.

This project requires an experienced contractor to design and execute the job. The Contractor shall provide all labor, material, tools, equipment, supervision, and other related items required to the complete the project as per scope of work, specifications. Contractors are advised to visit the site, verify the existing site conditions to develop their proposal.

From the time of its construction in 1797-98 until 1923 the Main House at Kingsley Plantation served as residence. John McQueen, who owned the property in 1797, lived there until 1804 when he sold the property to John McIntosh. John McIntosh eventually fled Florida in 1813 after the failed Patriot’s Rebellion. McIntosh subsequently leased his property to Zephaniah Kingsley in 1814 and moved his family and enslaved laborers shortly thereafter.

Kingsley purchased the property in 1817 and remained there until 1837 when he moved his family and slaves to Haiti. He sold the plantation to his nephews, Ralph King and Kingsley Beatty Gibbs. Kingsley Beatty Gibbs eventually moved to the property in 1841, but was only able to live there eleven years, when under significant financial strain he mortgaged the property and moved with his family to St.

Augustine. The Main House would not be lived in again until Charles Barnwell moved with his family to the island in 1860. At the end of the Civil War the Barnwells mortgaged the property and the house was empty again. It was not until 1869 that Rollins family moved into the house and a family member would live there until 1906, when Hannah Rollins passed away. Hannah and John Rollins’s daughter Gertrude Rollins Wilson purchased the house in 1906 and retained ownership until 1923 when she sold the property to the Fort George Club Corporation.

The property then became a club and the Main House became quarters for the club members when they visited the island. The Fort George Club sold the Main House to the State of Florida in 1955 and it has operated as a museum/historic house ever since. The state transferred ownership to the National Park Service 1991.

The Kingsley Plantation, including the Main House, is a contributing property of the Kingsley Plantation Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Kingsley Plantation is associated with the early settlement of northeast Florida, antebellum Florida, antebellum plantation agriculture, postbellum farming adaptations to a new post-war economy, and finally to the twentieth-century transition to recreational use. It is also significant for its association with Zephaniah Kingsley.

The Windows on the Main House

The house was originally constructed with two sizes of windows in the first and second stories. Several additional windows were installed throughout the house between 1878 and 1886. All the windows are divided light, double-hung types. The original windows have six-over-six sashes and measure approximately 2’-9” by 5’-4” on the first floor (Windows 1, 14, 17, 21 and 22) and 2’-3” by 3’-7” on the second floor (Windows 25 through 33). The windows added later have six-over-six and two-over-two sashes. All but one of the later six-over-six windows vary in size from 2’-6” by 5’-1” to 2’-9¾” by 5’-5” (Windows 18 through 20). Window 34, located on the second floor, was added circa 1886 and measures 2’-3” by 3’-7”. The two-over-two windows are larger, measuring 2’-9” by 7’-1” on the eastern bays (Windows 2 through 13) and 2’-9” by 8’-10½” on the North and South Porches (Windows 15, 16, 23 & 14).
