Blount Building, Chicago school style office building in Pensacola, United States
The Blount Building stands seven stories tall at the intersection of Garden Street and Palafox Place, featuring classical column architectural elements throughout its exterior design.
Local attorney William Alexander Blount commissioned the construction of this building in 1906 after the previous Blount-Watson Building burned down on Halloween night in 1905.
The structure represents the advancement of early 20th-century commercial architecture in Florida, combining marble, granite, brick, and fireproof iron with steel girder construction methods.
The building currently functions as part of One Palafox Place, offering commercial office spaces with regular business hours from Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The exterior design incorporates Chicago-style windows and follows a classical column structure with the first two floors forming the base, middle floors the shaft, and seventh floor the capital.
