Taken: March 18, 2009
Caption: Horton House, inside wall view, tabby and stucco
Additional Description: The orange color is (as mentioned on marker) where a modern finish of stucco was applied to the structure. Stucco is a material that was historically used in all tabby buildings. This material protects the tabby from the harsh sub-tropical environment. The modern stucco is orange because we know that this material was made using local sand, which would have given the original finish a more orange look. As the stucco ages it will bleach out and become a paler, creamy color.
