Huge Historical Mansion for Groups Downtown Pensacola 1 Block from Palafox St

Travel back in time in your own private historical mansion! Wine & dine your guests in good old fashioned style right in the heart of historical downtown Pensacola just one block off Palafox St. This beautiful 4400 sqft Victorian home boasts 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 2 dining areas, a grand lobby, a proper parlor, and a comfortable TV room. Unique features such as soaring 11 foot ceilings, original stained glass windows and an ornate grand wood staircase.

The space
One of Pensacola’s architecturally significant Victorian homes. The house construction initiated in 1902 by Steamboat Captain James M. Flynn and was completed around 1904 when the Thomas W. Brent, Jr. family moved in. Over the years it has also served as a hotel, bed-and-breakfast, advertising agency, and more. Previously featured in Southern Living Magazine. While this home has served many roles throughout its history, most of the charming historic details remain intact today. This includes the ornate wooden staircase in the foyer, 7 original fireplaces each with a unique hand carved wooden mantel. A favorite detail are the stunning stained glass windows throughout the house!

Location highlights
You’re in the heart of historic downtown Pensacola, one block to Palafox St: coffee, restaurants, bars, galleries, and the Saturday Palafox Market.

•Pensacola Bay Center, Saenger Theatre, Seville Quarter: 15 min walk or 3 min drive
•Blue Wahoos Stadium (AA baseball): 25 min walk or 5 min drive
•NAS Pensacola / National Naval Aviation Museum & Blue Angels (check practice/show schedules): 15 min drive

What a beautiful, historical place. Every room was beautiful and we saw something new every time we entered a room. The stain glass pieces were stunning and the crystal glimmered in each room. The location was perfect. We walked to Gallery Night and to The Palafox Market. Great restaurants are within walking distance. We had a perfect weekend staycation

One of the few homes I’ve stayed that the “sleeps#” is 100% accurate. Beds are all comfortable queens. Decor is perfect. This place has a personality. Downtown is quiet and subdued, but still close enough to all the fun. Owner is incredibly helpful and available. Perfect stay.
