1312 Catherine Street, destroyed by fire c1980. Tract 14, Square 3, Part of Lot 9.
Today, 1312 Catherine Street stands bright, tall and proud in the 1300 block of Catherine Street.
1312 Catherine Street was rebuilt in the 1980’s as a frame Duplex, using Dade County Pine in much of the framing. Dade Pine is a preferred form of timber as the wood is very dense and filled with sap that makes it more difficult for termites to eat through it. Notice I said more difficult and not impossible! Termites will eventually eat their way through anything and Dade County Pine is no longer available, except for salvaged stock, due to over harvesting.
This is what Dade Pine looks like inside the home. See below.
This duplex offers one apartment on the first floor and one on the second floor.
Below is the floorplan for the first floor apartment
The first floor apartment enjoys a private front porch which is hidden from the street by lush landscaping.
This is the entry.
The interior offers tall ceilings, an open kitchen/dining/living room, full bath and separate bedroom.
There is a washer dryer as well.
The bedroom is private and features exposed Dade Pine on two walls.
You also get a private rear deck, accessed off the kitchen.

This apartment also has private outdoor space on the front balcony as well as a rear deck with washer and dryer.
The foliage is very thick and offers good privacy.
Finally, there is one off-street parking space and you can also park in front of the house.
