The Joaneda house was built around the year 1806 out of wood and was originally owned by Juan Joaneda, a Minorcan fish farmer. [1] The house had a wooden floor. Joaneda then rebuilt the house out of coquina and sold it for a profit to a Juan Gonzáles Montes de Oca. Around 1809, Montes de Oca sold the house to the son-in-law of Juan Joaneda. [2] The house's main entrance was the through the yard and the entire property was enclosed by a wall and fence, reconstructed in 1976. There were originally three rooms on the first floor with an open porch on the south side.
In 1888 the building was used as a tailor shop and the main entrance moved to the street. In the 1920s the Montgomery sisters turned the Joaneda House into a gift shop. They enclosed the porch and built a six-room addition to the south that doubled the size of the building. They also put in a concrete tile floor. [3]

Archaeological excavations on the lot were completed before restoration work began, in 1975. [5] The cost of the project was $82,476.
