The northwest corner of Fort George Island, the site of Kingsley Plantation of the National Park Service. The building on the left is the oldest plantation house in Florida. Built in 1796 for John McQueen, it was subsequently the domicile of John H. McIntosh, Zephaniah Kingsley, and other planters. A map drawn in 1791 by Spanish engineer Mariano de la Rocque shows a second north to south road on the island that terminated at this site.
