The St. Augustine Lighthouse spiral staircase was designed in the 1870s to accommodate women’s fashion of the time period — long, full skirts! The staircase was made wider for all visitors to climb to the top. The lighthouse was one of St. Augustine’s first tourist attractions! #staugustinelighthouse #reels #staircase #1800s #staugustine #lovefl #museum #lighthouse #florida #spiralstaircase #tour #floridahistory #visitor #tourism #saintaugustine #instagood
