About the ruins
Located on Fort George Island in Jacksonville, Florida, the Thomson Tabby House ruins are the remains of a house built by Charles Thomson in 1854. In 1855 when Mr. Thomson died, the construction was halted and the house was ultimately never completed. Tabby is a manmade coquina, often called coastal concrete and was a common building material of the time. It is composed of burned oyster shells that are mixed with lime, sand, water, ash and a variety of other shells.
The house measures roughly 46 feet by 20 feet. It looks like the house was to have two room with a fireplace. There was room on the tabby foundation to include a porch as well. The home is said to have been for Thomson’s daughters and her husband.
The ruins are open to the public and visible from the street.
