Physical Description
General Note
Former Florida Governor Richard Keith Call's home in Tallahassee, "The Grove," was begun in the 1820's, and remains today a place of architectural and historic distinction. It was purchased by LeRoy Collins (husband of Mary Call Darby Collins who was a great granddaughter of Governor Call) in November 1942. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
Accompanying note: "FADING INTO OBSCURITY - Few people, driving along Third avenue behind The Grove, glance at this cluster of tombstones which have grayed to the color of the moss that sways from the overshadowing live oaks. Here lie [Richard] Keith Call, twice territorial Governor of Florida, and his family, including the daughter who was the first white child born in Tallahassee. Her marker is front left, next to Call's tomb."
