Miss Laurie Biggs portrays a member of the Gonzales family. She is holding a baby in the photo above. Celestino Gonzales (1797 - 1844), in the early part of his career, was in charge of building the section of road between Pensacola and Choctawhachie. He later worked at the Pensacola Navy Yard as a consulting engineer and served Pensacola as alderman in 1841. The Gonzales home once stood at 137 West Romana St, but has since been torn down. Another Gonales home was relocated to the Historic District in 1979. It is located at 226 East Intendencia Street.
