By 1852 , The Plank Road was completed to Old St. Augustine Road and the spur to Tallahassee was completed by 1855 . The Plank Road intersected Old St. Augustine Road and it was near that intersection that during the Civil War Captain Houston built the small "Old Fort" earthworks still to be seen in a small city park in Woodland Hills subdivision. The Plank Road was used into the 1890s , but eventually became disused. Although the "Old Fort" or Fort Houston was built during the Civil War and is associated with the Battle Of Natural Bridge , Captain Houston and his artillery were nowhere near there during that battle. Rather his artillery was positioned near the center of the Confederate line at the Battle of Natural Bridge. REFERENCES |
