Cawthon House
The Sarah Payne Cawthon House was the first structure moved to the Village Green. Built in 1834 and originally known as the Hobby-Harrison House, it was literally saved from the wrecking crew in 1967 by Sarah Payne Cawthon who purchased and moved it from Monroe Street to Ocala Road in Tallahassee. The House was donated to the College of Law in 1986 by First District Court of Appeal Judge Ann Booth and Sarah Shaw, daughters of the late Sarah Payne Cawthon and Rainey Cawthon.
The House reflects the Greek Revival style with its square Doric columns and impressive entrance portico. It is a two-story building, and has two 18' x 18' square rooms on both floors. Each room has 12' ceilings and large well proportioned windows and a fireplace. The original heart pine floors have been restored in the downstairs hallway and the upstairs rooms.
The Cawthon house is home to the Collins Center for Public Policy. Sandy D'Alemberte's office is located here. A former President of the American Bar Association (1991-92), Talbot ("Sandy") D'Alemberte served as Dean of Florida State University College of Law from 1984 to 1989 and was appointed president of Florida State University in 1993, serving in that capacity through January 2003.
