Join us for a historic tour of One Palafox Place.
Bobby Switzer, Managing Member will provide a tour of the Brent, Blount, Moulton and Marston Quina buildings. These building are some of downtown Pensacola’s most historic landmarks. The tour will start at the Breezeway of One Palafox Place.
After the 1905 Halloween night fire consumed the original buildings on the block, new buildings were commissioned by Francis Celestino Brent and William Alexander Blount. The Brent building was designed by architect Higdon Hawley and constructed by M. T. Lewman. The Blount building, originally known as the Blount Watson building prior to the fire, was constructed by Charles Hill Turner in 1906 for a cost of approximately $200,000.
The block was recently sold by the Rainwater family to the Switzer family who is bringing the block back to its original glory through a historic restoration and redevelopment transforming it into a new live, work, play community.
