Pensacola Electric: 1908
Florida circa 1908. "Blount Building, Pensacola." Still standing, at the corner of Garden and Palafox. 8x10 glass negative, Detroit Publishing Co. View full size.
Plumber! Them's Fighting Words!
I see a sign on the far right declaring that Chas.A.Born is a plumber, steam and gas fitter.
My father by trade was a steamfitter for Procter & Gamble and whenever his brothers wanted to get his dander up they would refer to him as a plumber and he never took that sitting down.
He would rise to his feet and way before it became a mantra for many other professions would declare that any one could plumb (insert your favorite word for excrement here) but it took a real man to tame steam.
On the fifth floor
The rightmost windows (Garden St. elevation) identify the office of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad (L&N), which had fully absorbed the Pensacola and Atlantic Railroad (P&A) in 1891, which became the P&A Division of the L&N.
"Chicago School" Style
In 1989, the Blount Building was listed in A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture, published by the University of Florida Press, which described it as a "Fine example of turn-of-the-century commercial architecture in Pensacola." - Wikipedia.
